Re: [guide-user] Still No GoTo

Denis Nov 8, 2014

It will not show as it is replacing the UCAC3.

I just tried it again and it work fine and finds your star by entering (
4UC620-017761 )

Did you use the "Alt+J" keys when you install it and type in the address
"c:\guide9\ucac4" as an example.

Putting the line directly in the Guide.dat does not work properly.
I would undo and use the method above.

The menu "Object name..." I am pointing at is not the "Go to .TDF
object..." menu just to be clear.
