Re: [whatsup-astro] Re: Limit to the number of catalogue entries

Thanks Rick.
 
What's it written in?  If it's going to be a hassle maybe I could just sort it for you?
 
My observing location is kind of limited, so it's really good to be able to get a quick list of possible targets without having to worry about what's behind the house or in the trees!
 
Cheers & thanks,
Rod

Wow, it's been a while since I've dusted this off...perhaps I"ll try to resurrect it and see what I can do.
