Re: [Unsure] [guide-user] PANSTARRS (C/2011 L4)

Hello Bill,

I tried to download the updated comet data but now just quite many windows popped up displaying download OK and one window saying "The requested procedure is invalid".

I am using this Version:

You are currently running the 26 Feb 2013 version.

In editing Comet/Asteroid Data" it shows just (new asteroid) and (new
comet).

I have turned Asteroids on. Panstarrs is listen now under comets and asteroids identically.
