I applied the recommended fix and it worked. Why aren't comets loaded in order of descending magnitude so that the brightest comets are loaded by default? Love the program

  Hi Bill, 

  We get the data from IAU Minor Planet Center.  The comets.txt file is a list as sorted (numbered from 1, 2, 3 to 2000+) by the IAU.

  Thanks!

  Can SkySafari control a mount to track a comet? Or does it only do sidereal rate?

  Thomas, please post questions about SkySafari in the SkySafari forums.

  Thanks!
