Starry night pro 5 and august challenges

davidpretorius · #1 21-08-2005, 09:49 AM

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?

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.

space and then ngc6025 or simply 6025

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