Hi all,

A comment and a question....

I noted that Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) is *not* in
the databases for the Ephemerides 2007.01 Release 1
Thurs Jan 11, 2007  update I just downloaded.   This
is the bright comet we're seeing in the evening after
sunset (see http://spaceweather.com/ ) but not in
Kstars (which would be great for tracking my NexStar
it it had it). The thing is this comet will not be
visible that much longer in the norther skies, so it
would be great if it was in Kstars?

Now for the question - does Kstars have a SHOW OBJECTS
feature, such as if I direct Kstars to an area of sky,
then ask Kstars to show me all the comets in that
area? 
If not, this would be a helpful feature. 

Peter
