Hi Ed,

Lets check the simple things first.
Are you using Mpcorb? If so, check that in extras it is ticked.
Otherwise it will only show built in asteroids.
What magnitude are you showing in Display Data Shown? If it is less that
10, then you won't find many. Instead of using auto, try using fixed..
say mag 17. Lots should show. That's one sure fire way of trying it out.

All the best

Alan
