The full NGC-IC (and all other) catalogs are present and accounted for in any default install. Note that we still deliver a LOT of data on first install, and it's only the deepest (18+ mag) USNO stars and all-sky images that currently download. (If you want it all in one go, just sign up for the beta program -it's free, fast and easy- and you can download it all in one go today.) There are a bunch of reasons why we didn't deliver all that data on first download (most notably that it's now about 21GB and counting), but I promise it wasn't laziness! You have access to much more data in SN7 than was ever available in SN6, but yes it does stream down rather than being all there. I've noticed that I am downloading data when zooming in/out but the actual SN7 file size doesn't seem to get any bigger in terms of Gb. Many game developers keep their customers informed with updates so why can't these people do the same? I've noticed that the Devs never keep anybody updated over on the SN Yahoo group as to what bugs they're working on and what we can expect etc etc in the coming weeks and months. Are you serious! This to me is lazy on the developers part. When purchasing SN7 you are misled into thinking you need about the same size only to find out later that you've actually just paid for a measly 4Gb program needing an internet connection for downloads as and when you use the program. ![]() None of this downloading images nonsense as you zoom in/out. My SN6 is a whopping 12Gb when I purchased it. ![]() Are you sure it's really getting this stuff off the Internet? The previous version would take a while to load the sky images _from the hard drive_.
