Problems With SkySafari 6 Pro Object Search By Abell Catalog (Fixed)

 If there is an object in the observing list or in the observation, the object can not be found in the observing list by Abell numbers, but only by another catalog - for example ARO.
Eg: Abell 2 - ARO 202
   I have the ARO202 in 3 observing lists including observation, but when I enter to find Abell2, there is no object find in the observing lists. (I use "Show Observations" or "Show Lists Containning Object").

    Lis,

    I'm not seeing your problem.  In the list itself, does it display the object as Abell 2 or ARO 202?

    You say the object can be found using the ARO designation.  How are you doing that?

    I'll try to describe it, but I'm not sure if I can do it with my bad English language.
    Even in my native language it is more complicated. :-)

    Because it is the same object - (ARO 202 and Abell 2), I would assume that the existing observation can be found in both ARO 202 and Abell 2.

    1. Start SS
    2. In my observation list there is an object and also the observation ARO 202 :
    3. Type search: Abell 2:

    4. object info:
    5. tap More - Show Observation:
    6. result: 0 Observation - it's not good:
    7. Type search: ARO 202:
    8. again - object info and tap More - Show Observation:
    9. result: 0 Observation - it's also not good:

    10. I have to center on any other object:
    11. type again search ARO 202:
    12. tap More - Show Observation:
    13. 3 Observation found - that's good:


    A similar error is for other Abell / ARO objects, and the same behavior is also on different HW devices (tablet, mobile).

    OK, I'll look at this.  I am seeing the problem now as well, but yesterday this worked for me.  Definitely seems like a bug.
