Same here Rolf. Going to NGC7840 I end up at 00 00 00 +26 40 00. TheSky
gives 00 26 08 -03 43 00. When moving my, original install without updates,
Guide8 to TheSky's location no NGC is plotted in a 1 or 2deg display, in
3degs NGC113 & 145, IC6-8-12 and 1557 are shown, NGC7840 is unpiloted.

The problem is more than likely a Catalog issue than a Guide8 problem.
Interesting catch, a fun few minutes...joe :)
