Ah man, thanks for the update, I use this all the time! Biggrin To bad the original author hasn't fixed the wrong names of the cities in my country, but still it's a great program...

Cheers Smile

My posts are old and likely no longer relevant.

I use the full install version on a couple of computers and have no problem. I tried using the portable apps version several times on several different computers and OS's, and get the same result every time. The current version added the ocular plugin that used to have to be downloaded separately as a part of the main program now. On the installed version, I have to go in to configuration and set it to load on startup, then restart the program. It works fine there. When I try to do the same in the PA version, it crashes as soon as it tries to load the plugin. I can manually go in to config.ini and under [plugins_load_at_startup] set Oculars = false, save and restart the app, and it runs fine, just without the oculars feature. Is there a bug in how the oculars feature works in the PA version?
