Hi

Downloading the full compliment of stars for stellarium will take some time. The largest two contain over 1 GB of data. If you are using XP you will normally be only able to use either catalogue 7 or 8, not both. It appears to be something to do with how XP allocates memory and hasn't been solved yet.

One way to see both cats' 7 and 8 is to leave cat 6 out

Below is a screenshot of the previous attachment with stars from cats 7 and 8
