pan starrs on Starry Night enthusiast 6 download?

Is my Starry Night enthusiast 6 not upgrading? I can't get comet Panstarrs2013 to show in file or screen. Is anyone out there equipped with Starry Night enthusiast?

Drat! Cloudy sunsets here but it would be nice to know how long to look before it sets or if it is still in the evening sky and at what elevation compared to the moon.

    I just checked my copy of Enthusiast 6, and it shows PANSTARRS just fine. Perhaps your copy is not updating the comets.txt file properly. One way to fix this is to delete the current copy of the file, which should force a new copy to be uploaded. Another is to manually download the file and put it in the Sky Data folder manually. The current file is located at:

    http://www.siennasoft.com/updates/data/Comets.txt

    Place the file in the Sky Data folder, which is located (in Windows) at:

    My Computer/Local Disk/Program Files/Starry Night 6/Sky Data

    If you're using a Mac, the file is inside the app package, accessed using the control key.

    If that doesn't work, open a ticket on the Starry Night support site:
