... For some reason the download of astorb isn't working for me right now. I recently had a similar problem with another ftp site, so this may be a problem on...
Zoom in till the magnitude filter lets it through. Alternatively set the magnitude filters to higher values. I logged a defect suggesting that when an object...
Has anyone made an Ek box to work with CdC? I'm having trouble getting mine to work. I suspect the crystal oscillator is r/s. It's an ABRACON 4.0-k ACO 0436...
Sander, I zoomed in to a 1 degree FOV at a Mag 20 setting and 'Show comets '0' mag less than stars'and searched for SWAN. The right part of the sky comes up,...
Mel, Swan shows up fine for me in the 10/15/06 snapshot. I see it all the way to a 60 degree fov and beyond. I assume you have comets displayed, right? Please...
Sander, Well, I upgraded to V3.1 and have recovered from that disaster, red hell and all. I have completely lost V2.79 and it is no longer listed on the...
Mel, 2.76 is still available and 3.01.1 works fine next to 2.76. I have them both on all my PCs. In short, I have no idea what you're talking about. But if...
Yes, my mistake re the vsn. number. And the download page does work though is a little misleading, instructing one to 'choose from a site below'. There is a...
I fixed it. There were 2 problems, first, the ABRACOM 4MHz oscillator was a dud. Second, there was a microscopic crack in the earth track about 3 cm away from...
Hello Group, I solved the comet symbol problem. found that one needed to enter in the box 'Show Comets greater than star mag ' ' at least a value of 10. All...

Hi Patrick, everyone, Erwin noted that the PGC catalog as provided on the 2.x site does not have an index file. I was hoping to rebuild the catalog but...
I just got around to downloading the latest PGC catalog (the 2006 version from Jeff Burton's site). There was a new idx file included, but when trying to ...
Hi John, this is I think the same behavior Erwin reported to me by private email. There must be a catgen file out there somewhere I can try to tweak? Sander...
Are we talking about the Catalog of Principal Galaxies? I am able to search it from both V3 and 2.76 using the last years PGC but I just updated to the latest...
I noticed the same thing about the number of digits, but I thought that last year's PGC also had over 1,000,000 galaxies. I still had the old PGC installation...
While we are on the subject of catalogs, I just noticed that the newest WDS does not display the stars correctly. They all display as though they are 15mag....
hi Bob, I can't even get the WDS stars to show up at all, using 3.0 11/04. I set the star filter to manual which sets the object filter to 99 for the smallest...

I have found the problem with searching the PGC 2006 catalog. The index file was not sorted correctly (I thought I checked this twice). I have provided some...
