Problems with Star Atlas - GSC

Post by Forum_2014 »

Hi All,

I'm new to AA, but enjoying using it so far.
I'm having a little trouble with Star Atlas and was wondering if any of you could help. Perhaps there's something obvious I'm missing.....
I downloaded the GSC catalogue and placed it in a folder on my hard drive. I went to the 'Preferences' section, went to 'Star Atlas' and changed the Catalogue 1 folder to the one where the GSC files are located on my hard drive. However, when I start up Star Atlas I get the message 'Insert Disk GSC......(the location on my harddrive)'. Wierd? Suffice it to say, that when I try to use 'Find', for example, M45, I just get a black screen.
Have I missed something? Am I just being a typical nube and missing something obvious?

Cheers and hi!

Stef

Hi,
maybe you downloaded the original GSC? You must use the compressed one, included with Astroart.
