Lionel,

It may depend on which version of Starry Night you are running (Pro?
Deluxe?) and computer platform (MAC or Windows).

I found a similar problem when upgrading from Pro 3.0.2 and it turned out to
be that I modified the settings in the wrong (Windows) folder.  You should
change the number of satellites and number of satellite labels parameters in
the ...\Starry Night Pro\Starry Night Pro Data\Prefs\Pro\prefs.txt  file.
Not the file in ....\Starry Night Pro Data\Prefs\SN Pro Prefs.txt  (assuming
you are running SN Pro).  Also make sure that your satellite database text
file is current.  The database on my CD is over a year old and even the
geostationary satellites will appear in the wrong place if you use the CD
file.  You can get current data from the NORAD databases at
http:\\celestrak.com.  Another thing is to check that your satellite labels
'display when dim' option is enabled.

I forget:
What I mean about the possible bug is that all satellites in the databases
are not showing up. I set all TVRO satellites and only a few on the east
side are coming on the screen. No west satellites are visible, and they are
ALL in the satellite.txt file
