I killed the app after 20 minutes of waiting for it to load. It appears evident that there may be some issues here. Since my Mac has 8gb of RAM, even if they load it all into memory there shouldn't be an issue.
The Starry Night Support people also appeared surprised that I would want to do this )load so many Minor Planets). I was trying out ACP Planners link to Starry night to create Observing Plans for ACP. I might just stick to Astroplanner instead, it loads the file contents (all 530,000 odd objects) in about 1 minute.
Cheers
