G'day Bill,

It is starting to work, but here is a particular one that
you can decide why it wont be found.

Goto J2000, 16h 10m 22s -48 58' 02".
There you will see B 2800AB-C.
Try to put that name into the "Goto" and it will not be
accepted.

Look in the WDS at 16104-4858B 2800AB-C. There it is, but
using that sequence wont do any good either.
I've tried many different sequences, and none work.

Just a bit of info for you.

Regards
Vincent
