Starry night pro 5 and august challenges

[davidpretorius]

If i ask starry night pro to "find" some of the august challenges:

NGC4945: found!
NGC6025: not found!
M55: found!
M17: found!
NGC5189 : not found!


I have downloaded updates, but how do i include other NGC's?

[Striker]

David.....their all in there....no updates are needed.....when you do a find in Starry Nights Pro V5...choose "contains" as a search instead of "begins with".

And sometimes you need to leave a space between the NGC and the number eg...NGC 5189 not NGC5189.

still having prob with ngc6025

[davidpretorius]

and 5189

[Striker]

Leave a space.

[davidpretorius]

still no go:

space and then ngc6025 or simply 6025

is there an option that i should tick to include more ngc's?

David,
NGC space 6025
NGC space 5189
Hope that helps.
