Hi Bill,

it worked flawlessly the first time I used it in a star field and since then
I could not get any more data. I tried several fields at different places.
Maybe if you give it a try and report?

You could try around GSC star 919 1647. I did not succeed. It says "A
connection with the server could not be established".

BTW to search for USNO A2.0 stars also did not work the way you explained
some mails ago.

Thanks for your help,

Josch Hambsch
