Sander, Bring up "Catalogs" and select the Asteroid tab. You will see on the left two radio buttons "CBAT" probably the one selected and one marked "Astorb", select the Astorb button. There is also a "1==" and a box that probably contains a zero, this is the starting asteroid number. Change it to 2000. Under that "Max. NB" it is maximum number displayed. 500 is ok but you can change it to whatever. Hit the "Refresh" button and 2025 Nortia should be the 25th one down the list select it and it should display on the chart. Bob PS Astorb can be updated buy using the same Online Resource menu.
