Hi Stephen,

Hmmm... just gave it a try, and yes, if I hit Ctrl-B ("enter
object name") and enter STT 123 or STT 178, Guide centers on stars
in Orion or Camelopardalis. Same thing if I go through the menus
("Go To... Star... Double Star", scroll down to "STT Struve, Otto",
and enter 123 or 178).

However, that's where the Washington Double Star catalog places
those doubles. If you turn on the WDS in Extras... Toggle User
Datasets, you'll see them marked on the chart and can click on them
for 'more info'.

I'm wondering if this is a designation issue. My first thought
was that maybe you were looking for STF (F. G. W. Struve) 123 and 178,
but those aren't in Draco or Aquila either.

If you turn on WDS and then center on the stars you expected to
see in Draco or Aquila, how does WDS and Guide label them?

(Incidentally, I _am_ going to get back to you on the issue of
having tables, such as the GRS and Jupiter events, filter out
unobservable events! I'd thought that I would be able to do a
little work and then reply, "Click here for the update". It's
proven to be slightly more complicated than that...)
