E.g. Messier has a file named messier.cds This kind of catalogues are installed using an other method than catalogues with a .hdr-file.
The proper path for *.sdd, *.cds and *.cdm files are in z:\Program Files\Ciel\cat\externes\xxx where xxx is e.g. abell, ds2000, gliese, ... and z: is the logical drive name, e.g. C: or E: Each catalogue .zip file contains a relative path, so when you unzip them, make sure to do this to z:\Program Files\Ciel (or wherever you have installed CdC).. Alternatively you may choose another approach - definitely NOT recommended as a permanent solution, but it provides a simple way to test whether the problem is related to path. Start CdC, select Catalogues, pick a catalogue and set the File Path to point to the files. If this works, close CdC, move all files to the proper paths as per above and set the File Path accordingly. If this does not solve your problem, please expand on what you did while installing the files, etc. John Mahony wrote: > > Are you using v3 or 2.76? > > -John > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: growler3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:harrisb%40cfl.rr.com>> > > > > Sometime during my initial enthusiasm to acquire CDC, I downloaded > > everything in sight.
