Hi Owen,
This sounds like a pretty easy thing to do. The only tricky part is testing it. If you can test it, then it should be easy. I'll look into the docs.

I can help with the test as well, I have a Nexus DSC.

I had a look at the docs for the Nexus. I propose having SkyTools create two files:
Soft00Cmt.txt (current comets list)
Soft00Bright.txt (current minor planets list)
After loading into the Nexus, these should appear as "Comets" and "Bright Asteroids."
This feature will be accessed via a menu item on the "Telescope Control" menu of the Real Time tool.
Clear skies,

Thanks for doing this Greg. The comets seem to load properly and can be searched on. Unfortunately we have permacloud here so I can't test for real but it seems to show them in the right places.
Will let the other Nexus users I know that use SkyTools that they can now have this.
