Hi: Fast. Simple. Rationally laid-out user interface. Does everthing (more actually) that I need to get done. Actually, CdC has more features than I usually...
In trying to zoom in to less than a 5 degree FOV, I get the following error message: Exception EConvertError in Module CATALOG.DLL at 0000639E I searched the...
I am not sure but it looks as though a catalog that is set to become active at <5d FOV is corrupt. Take a look at "Preferences" "Catalogs" and see if you can...
Hi: You probably need to ask Steve Tuma this. He's very responsive to email and to questions posted on the Deepsky forums on his website. Peace, Rod Mollise ...
Rod, Actually, I'm asking here at Steve's suggestion, (see: http://www.deepskyobserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=197 ) <Grin> but you are correct that he IS...
Hi Phillip: I know what you're saying bro. I've felt the same thing about some things when using CdC with DAS. I just assumed, though, that this had to do with...
Hi Phillip, When it is called by DAS, CdC load the preference from the file ciel\cartes\ds2000.cdc This is because we generally not want the same setting as...

My understanding is that one of the 3 new planets announced a week or two ago is designated 2003EL61. I got ephemeris info from the Cartes-du-Ciel user's...
It looks like you got it, but the situation is not as simple as it looks. At the time of your picture, 2003 EL61 (mag 17.5) was almost exactly at the location...
Well, at least you can see it, barely separated from the star. I do some asteroid chasing (mostly follow-up astrometric measurements of newly discovered ...
Thanks for the help. I checked and it looks like the Hubble GSC catalog was indeed the culprit. When I deactivated it, the error went away, and I was able to...

Why are you calling 2003EL61 a planet? It is just one of the KBOs. Officially 2003UB313 has been qualified as a planet. The confusion might have occured due to...
Even 2003UB313 hasn't been officially called a planet. The discoverer has been using that term since it's bigger than Pluto, but it's up to the IAU to decide....
