I would try reinstalling that catalog before doing the entire program. Of course it would help if you told us which version of CdC you're using. Sander...
I'm using ver 2.76 and I installed the update for it. After some more searching here I figured out that I didn't have NGC2000 installed, so did that and don't...
To search by HD (or SAO, or BD, etc) numbers, you need the "search index" files on the CdC download page. I'm not sure which file has the NGC2000 catalog, but...
... I have solved the problem though. The HD catalog index wasn't installing to the correct directory. The installation box was confusing me, The way I read...
First, make sure you use "polar projection" rather than "zenithal". That's the icon with two blue arrows in the right toolbar. Click the stopwatch icon in the...
Hi I have V2.76c. I don't see 17P Holmes in the list when I do Preferances/ catalog and object parameters/ comets. Do I need to download another catalog or...
... For some reason they're sorted in an odd order, so 17P comes after those in the range of 170P-179P. If that doesn't work, click the "comet elements" button...
... ASCII alphabetic order :) But in any case there is no need for a map to see this comet. Just look at Alpha Persei with the naked eye, you cannot miss it. ...

It's on Vizier, so you can probably do it with catgen (I've never used catgen before, but I think that's what it's for- converting just about any catalog for...

Hi, If you just want to find the location for this object you not need to install anything. Just open the search box, select "Various identifier from SIMBAD"...
All these years I had never realized that CdC could search Simbad directly. Learn something every day. Thanks Patrick. That is a really useful feature. Hope to...

Hi gang, I upgraded from Ver 2.76 to 2.76c and now I find that CdC won't show Messier objects cat numbers properly. When I type M1 in the "Find" function it'll...
