Importing a Star File from Nova

In the "Fixed Star Editor" this option can only be used if you have Astrolabe’s Nova program installed on your computer. It allows you to import the information from a Nova type star file into a new Solar Fire star file.

•Select the Import option from the File menu

If you have made any changes to the current file, then you will be prompted to save them before a new file is created. When you select this option, you will be presented with a file open dialog box from which you must select the required Nova star file. Nova star files have the extension “.txt”, and normally reside in the Nova folder.
