Hello User's group and Gary,

I would like to add about 30 bright stars to the Align Star Catalog. When observing from my home site, I find that, especially in the Autumn, I have trouble finding alignment stars east of the meridian that are not obscured behind trees, buildings etc. I compiled a list of 30 additional bright stars mag 2.5 or brighter, spaced throughout the sky, that would greatly enhance the Align Star Catalog and allow an optimum choice of stars with sufficient separation in right ascension and declination to insure accurate alignment. These stars are all easily visible in bright urban skies, and are distinctive in their individual constellations.

Is it possible to edit the Align Star Catalog? If so, how can I acquire it? ...edit it? ...and reload the enhanced file into my Argo Navis software?
If editing the catalog is not possible, is there a workaround solution to increase the number of alignment stars available to use within the alignment feature?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.
