If you like editing or copying things directly, the regular image link settings are in the file default.sxt and the automated calibration image link settings are in the file AutoPointingRun.sxt.
However, I do have the Database Add On installed here anyway and I like it. The Database Add On comes with the full UCAC3 as well as a bunch of other stuff which seemed worth it to me at the time, but YMMV. If you do purchase the Database Add on, copy it to your hard drive and back it up elsewhere too. The portable hard drive is for data transport only, not day-to-day usage.
In regards to the problem with the daily build having a Southern Hemisphere slew bug, geez, don't those guys have Southern Hemisphere tests in their QA test suite? (That assumes they have a QA test suite.) Sorry, being in the Northern Hemisphere, I'd never notice otherwise I would not have recommended.

Thanks for that. I'll see how I go. If I have trouble its good to know there is a solution.
Greg.
