SAO on G2


 

Two questions:
1. Like a lot of you, I'm interested in testing double star limits and, thanks to Sonny's very helpful "Tonight's Sky" suggestion, I drew up a brief observing list for last night. However, when I? went to the SAO tab and typed in the SAO number, the Gemini 2 couldn't recognize it. I tried this on a few other stars, including the very recognizable Epsilon 2 Lyr. What am I doing wrong here?

2. Speaking of limits, I hit my Dec (I think) limit and I couldn't get out of it until I shut the system off and cold re-started it. I haven't properly studied "limits" yet (my fault) and I made a hash of things on a night of incredible transparency up here in the north country. I'm planning to re-model tonight, trusting that a cold start will erase my mistakes. Would that life were like that. Anyway, if I encounter this again I'd like some guidance in re establishing the use of the G2 without losing three hours worth of the computer's "learned" input.
