I'm trying to add a new object and have found the TLE on space-track but I can't find the "Paste TLE from clipboard button".

Please could you tell me where this button is.

The TLE is

1 43205U 18017A   18038.22157858  .00505133 -52681-6  23951-2 0  9997
2 43205  29.0196 286.7252 3400758 181.1849 342.1043  8.76376464    24

  Hi Graham,

  You can find the data files in the Starry Night 8 Prefs / Sky Data folder.

  https://support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/articles/231540047-Importing-SN6-data-to-SN7-SN8-Or-How-I-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-Sky-Data-overrides-

  Open the file, add your data, save.  Note, this file will be overwritten next time Starry Night updates the data files.

  Alternatively, go to File > New > Add New Comet or Asteroid (Requires Enthusiast, Pro or Pro Plus)

  Thanks!
