I cannot find the pick list of the Satellites. Nothing appears in the Find. and When I enter ISS in the advance find I get the Quasar ISS 35. I do remember at one time there was a list of Satellites. I removed the software and reinstalled - did not fix.

Keiron Smith Hi Robert,
What version of Starry Night are you using? CSAP, Enthusiast, Pro or Pro Plus?
Thanks!

Robert B. Noakes Pro Plus 8.1.0.2025 I went online at https://data.starrynight.com/updates/60/Satellites.txt and the file had only one name in it: LIGHTSAIL
I went to: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=active&FORMAT=tle and pull down a file renamed it to Satellite.txt and placed it in the AppData location - it worked. I just have to write a Visual Studio app to do this on a daily basis.

Robert B. Noakes I worked out that LIGHTSAIL is an EOF marker. And the file that was downloaded by SN8 was empty. Using VS VB I created a app that downloads the data from CelesTrak adding the EOF. It works great and fixes the issue when an empty file is downloaded.
