Step 1: get a very fast internet connection Step 2: depends on whether you have/use Winzip (available free on the web). If so, start with the standard Winzip configuration.
2A (with Winzip): download <http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/ftp-index?/ftp/cats/bincats/GSC_ACT/.tar> (as usual, cut-and-paste the full link into your browser) Warning: 300MB 3A: In Winzip, click option>configuration>miscellaneous and uncheck "TAR file smart CR/LF convertion", then create a folder ..\ciel\cat\GSC-ACT, and extract the downloaded tar file to it. -OR- 2B (without Winzip) Go to <ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/cats/I/255/> and drag the folder labelled "GSC_ACT" to your ..\ciel\cat folder 3B (optional): twiddle thumbs while waiting for 600MB to download Step 4: In CdC, click prefs>catalogs>stars2, select the HST GSC "compact" option, and set the pointer to ..ciel\cat\GSC-ACT (that will end in "GSC_ACT" (underscore rather than dash) if you used the second option, but you can rename the folder if you want.) -John --- Len Philpot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I realize this subject has been covered (in a manner of speaking) > over the past few months, but it was rather sporadic.
