Re: [guide-user] Still No GoTo

P. Clay Sherrod Nov 8, 2014

No, using the OBJECT NAME on the GO TO menu does bring up "Not a Valid Object."
I have tried numerous variations on the UCAC-4 listings and I cannot get it to come
up either, including leaving out the "zero" heading off the DEC coordinate.
It would seem that -IF installed onto the hard drive and in the program files of
GUIDE - there should be an option that appears under the STARS selection as other
catalogs are showing. The UCAC-4 catalog option does not show, nor does the GO TO
OBJECT NAME entry work in any form that I have tried.
