The label will depend on what catalog is active at the FOV you're using (see preferences>catalog and objects parameters, stars1 or stars2 tab, then note the "field min" and "field max" for each catalog).
Generally you set these to user smaller catalogs of brighter stars when viewing a wide field, and use deeper catalogs for narrower views. So the label for a bright star in a wide field will show a common name or Beyer (greek letter) designation (depending on your label options) from the "bright star catalog", and then show a BD number from the Sky2000 catalog if you zoom in some, and then show a Tycho number or whatever as you zoom in further. -John --- "marceau.guihard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Beginner in CdC 2.76c and in english expression. > > I am trying to get 'good' labels for stars (i.e. common names like > alpha - Aquilae or Altaïr if exist or cat-xxxx if not). > But I obtain HIP XXXXX since I loaded new catalogs. > How can I restore this? > > 1) Do I reload catalogs in good order (and what is the "good" order)? > Actuallly I have loaded all the cats availables in CdC. > > 2)Is it an option in registry (and witch)? > I saw that on W XP registry, I had two copies of options : one in > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Astro_PC\Ciel and one another in > HKEY_USERS\Sxxxxxx\Software\Astro_PC\Ciel > In case of options in registry, do I modify the two copies? > > Thanks for help > > > > > Yahoo!
