I believe I have the HIP catalogue properly enabled but I am using V 2.76 and don't seem to have the "Show object below horizon" option. However, that should still mean I could search for and find Polaris (I am about 30 miles ENE of London (Chelmsford).
I shall try again and see what happens. When you say "CdC should find the star with the extension", what extension are you talking about? May I say how much I appreciate your help and guidance.

I then searched for HIP 70890 and got no hits. I then searched for just 70890 and it found it just fine although it was below the horizon. I then went to the program settings and went to Observatory->Horizon. There I selected the 'Show Object below the horizon' checkbox. It now finds and shows the star correctly. I think CdC should find the star with the extension. I've recently had other trouble with searching and logged a bug. Patrick has commented in it and I need to try out his suggestions. Sander
