(From memory they had a new built in Plate Solve 2 mode that combines both and works really well for most people - not something I've had time or inclination to try yet)
Thanks for that. I am very happy with the plate solving in SGP, very accurate and repeatable. The reason I am wanting this is so that if I want to get a target that I do not have existing issue or unable to access Astrobin for a plate solved image to use, I can still use Go To to get me there. Anyway, I have solved the issue. It appears that you have to actually click on a star in CdC to get it to work when in dialog based mode.

Cheers

Malcolm
