RL Gent Aug 18, 21:24 EDT I am running StarryNight Pro 7.6.3.1371. When I search for comets, I cannot find Comet Giacobani-Zinner. It is nearing a close approach, and I need to find it. Also, I need to change my email to RLGent1@gmail.com on this account. My old cox email is deactivated. Thank you. Robert Gent PS: Please send reply to RLGent1@gmail.com

  1. Go to File -> Preferences -> StartUp -> Comets <- change the number read in to 2000.
  2. Restart SN7.
  3. Search for 21p

  It don't work for me and I'm looking for 46P/Wirtanen too! I change the number of comets as you say for 2000 and I restart Starry Nyght Pro Plus twice with the same result.  Another idea?

  Please read the articles available here:

  If the article is not updated for SN7 make sure you cross-reference Sky Data with this article:

  Thanks!
