Hiya Rod - I can change the path of any catalog that I added in the setup/catalog/catalog area. However, I cannot change the path of any catalog in the default catalog areas "setup/catalog/cdc deep sky" and "cdc stars". Further, since I could not "add" the pgc 2009 catalog because it does not have a .hdr file, I cheated and renamed the pgc 2009 folder in the CAT directory to "pgc" as it is named in the unchangeable default catalog area and now CDC recognizes the catalog and displays the galaxies.
Can you chage the paths in the default "setup/catalog/cdc deep sky" and "cdc stars". areas? I'm still stumpted by the fact that I cannot "add" a catalog that does not contain a .hdr file (The cdc download areas contain many catalogs like this.

Clicking the folder icon beside the file path listing certainly allows me to change those paths to anything I want.

The file path of the default catalogs (setup/catalog/cdc deep sky, cdc stars, and obsolete) do not allow the user to change the file paths. Then going back to the original problem: The setup/catalog/catalog "add" function will not recognize a catalog unless its folder includes a ".hdr" file. The downloaded pgc 2009 does not include a .hdr file in the downloaded folder. CDC will not, therefore, recognize the catalog.

When I go to Setup/ Catalog/CDC Deep Sky in V3.1 and then put a check mark (activate) in "Cat. of Principal Galaxies", the "files Path" box remains red and does not allow me to select a path. > > bh Hi Bob, I think it´s nevertheless no problem. In place of "activating" doubleclick the folder-symbol on the right. Then you can search, where your pgc-folder really is. You can even try this with other catalogs, getting the same result, if you sure installed them. I think V3.1 doesn´t find it automatically like V2.76 (?)
