Trouble with the Star Catalog

From time to time the server that provides the star catalog information to Astrometrica is not available. There are actually 7 differrent miror sites to select from, one of which is usually working. If you have had the problem:

Error: No Reference Star Records read.
Data reduction aborted!

you can easily fix this problem by doing the following:

1. Click on settings (green wrench icon)
2. Click on Internet panel
3. Select ADAC, Tokyo, Japan on the Vizier Server
4. Click Save
5. Click OK

This changes to the star catalog to Japan. That site is currently active. You will need to do this for both the 24" and 32" configuration files.

Happy Hunting!!
