Hi Terrence;

SNP is not real great for finding specific stars except using HIP number or TYC id or the J2000 coordinates. In most cases I wind up manually entering the J2000 coordinates to find my target stars. On top of that, "Paste" by key stroke does not work for SNP 6.4.3 either, and to past something into the Find field of SNP, I have to select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu to get text to paste. Happens on multiple laptops and my desktop Macs too under multiple OS X Versions too.

For HD189733 use HIP98505

For Corot 2B I use "USNO J1927064+012301"

HTH..

Milton,

I have been following your efforts to do exoplanet work with great interest.  My skies are filled with clouds this time of year, but I may be able to do a little photometry on the target just to see how close my measurements are to yours.  Since we both use SNP I thought it would be a simple matter to drop your star identification, HD189733b, in Find and start the planning process.  Sadly, while I show HD189730 through HD189739, my install of SNP does not include HD189733 or HD189733b.  Do you have an additional database of stars installed?
