+This tab allows performing a cone search in the main NED object +catalog around specified coordinates. +As for other catalog searches, you can use an object name in place +of coordinates (note that although NED is used for name resolution, +the actual search then performed on NED is by coordinates, as +opposed to a direct access of the NED object catalog by name).

As for the other catalog searches, the tool pre-fills the target -position with its best guess o the coordinates of the target with -which you have been working. In this case, you are limited to a cone -search, so the next option is the cone search radius. Pick your units +position with its best guess for the coordinates of a target with +which you have already been working. +The next option is the cone search radius. Pick your units from the pulldown first, and then enter a number; if you enter a number and then select from the pulldown, it will convert your number from the old units to the new units. There are both upper and lower limits to your search radius; it will tell you if you request -something too big or too small.

The search results are then shown (and interacted with) in the same way as the other catalogs described here.

+The search results will generally include a column "Details". +(You may have to scroll to the right to see it.) +Clicking on a link in this column takes you directly to the full +NED information display for the selected object, in a new window.
