Description Steve 2014-06-15 20:51:43 UTC
I get the error message `Unnamed stars not supported in the observing list`

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start to create an observing list, select stars
2.Enter an object such as HD224303, click on `details` 
3.select `add to catalogue`
Actual Results:  
I get the error message `Unnamed stars not supported in the observing list` and unable to goto the objects I want

Expected Results:  
creat a list of stars listed by their HD number

Or if possible an object`s RA and Dec coordinates could be selected but again that option is not available. My main use is spectroscopy and being able to choose and slew to the star on my list is important. If I`m not able to slew to a chosen star then heaven forbid I may have to go back to Windows!!!

Enable adding of nameless stars in HD catalog to observing list. More works need to be done still.

I can`t seem to add more than one object into an observing list which if I keep trying to add one then Kstars crashes!
