name/id for stars in full catalog
I see that stars to 7th mag are included in the full catalog. What name or id do I use to reference them? I searched the manual and help, but don't see the answer.

Hi,
SharpCap is using the Hipparcos catalog numbers for stars, so for instance Rigel is HIP 24436
cheers,
Robin
