Hi Scott,

I use MPCORB all of the time, and I just tried what you said.
All of the asteroids get turned off, with the exception of those that
you have updated using the update feature in Extras.
I'm sure that in the past, there was a built in asteroid database (now
well out of date of course!) that would be displayed if MPCORB was not
ticked.
I'm not using the latest updated version of Guide8 yet though.
Maybe Bill can help with this?

Best Regards

Alan
