Thank you, Fabio and Martino!
BTW, it could be interesting to have some advice on how to:
- recall UCAC 4 catalog (I've a copy downloaded from Vizier)
- call preprocessing from script
Do you think to issue a new revision of the manual?
Thanks again.

Hello Alessandro!

1) you can recall UCAC 4 catalog as usual from the Preferences window.

2) Within a few days will be available for download the CCD Interface ver. 5.20 with all the updated documentation and istruction to call preprocessing with scripts.
