I'm getting error: using MiniSAC; can't find reference!

MiniSAC is (was) a portable object database server that was created by the Saguaro Astronomy Club and which I used in Nite-Opps. You need to download it from the ASCOM standards site and install it on your PC. Unfortunately it is no longer supported and the link in the ASCOM Standards site appears to be broken https://ascom-standards.org/Downloads/ScriptableComponents.htm#MSCat. Please note that Nite-Opps is a very incomplete application that I started working on many years ago as an alternative to the very expensive applications that were available at the time. As new, cheap / free applications have now become available (eg, NINA, SGP), Nite-Opps is something that I have put on the back-burner. I still work on it when I have time and now that MiniSAC is no longer available, I'll look at replacing it with another astro database.
