Barry, I had a look at the ngc2000.dat file in Stellarium but needed to check the manual on how to read it.
The list I downloaded
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ead.php?t=1523
allowed me to do what I wanted ie. an Excel program that would display Alt/Az for Messier and NGC objects given Latitude, Longitude, local time and the RA/DEC of the object.
I've written the Excel sheet but unfortunately even whenI WinZip it its too big to attach upload to IceInSpace.
I'd love to look at what you have.
How do I get it?
