I'm curious why this comet is not the most recent Comet Data download for SkyMap Pro. It is about magnitude 11.8 and has been imaged by a number of amateur...

Denis, just dowload the file using Skymap, and then make it the default list when asked. After that just tick all the comets you want to see, one being...
Hi all! I have a small problem with Skymap 10. I cannot search for vdB Object via the search field. The objects are shown on the map but any entry of a vdB...
Strange, VDB141 goes to it on my map. I have SkyMap PRO11, but I would imagine that yours should work as well. It must know that they are there, perhaps...

Chris, Coincidentally I was using SMP11 (11.0.6) to look for vdB 141 a few weeks ago. I could not find it. I tried again after your post (below) and SMP...
... Hmmm. I wrote my reply from memory - I could be wrong. I'll do some experiments when I get home (I'm away from a copy of SMP11 at present) and see what...
