Hi all,

The method Denis mentions will work, _if_ the URAT star is among
those displayed on-screen. For URAT1, Guide will extract only that
area from the binary catalog, expanding it into the ASCII file
'urat.txt'. It is that file which Guide displays, using the TDF
(text definition file) system. And it's that file at which Guide
will look when you use Go To... Go to .TDF Object command.

I put in some extra code so that Go To... Object Name could recognize
UCAC-1 through 4 designations, and A1.0 and A2.0 and B1.0 designations,
whether the object was on-screen or not. I'll take another look at
getting URAT1 similarly recognized.
