Dear friends Herbert and "Astrometricaers", I would appreciate your cooperation on clarifying a little doubt I have. Herbert, you told me that it is possible...

Hello, Getting the latest asteroid positions using "Download MPCOrb" would require an enormous amount of time & bandwith (~ 20 MB) and someone who still...
I believe that Astrometrica does just updates to an existing MPCORB.DAT, it does not try to download the whole thing. I may be wrong, though. The zipped ...
... Astrometrica can access the original USNO-B, as distributed by the USNO on hard disk. I don't know if/how the above versions differ from the original...
... For that reason, Astrometrica does (unlike any other software I know of) offer to update the MPCOrb, without the need to down- load the complete database....
... A *temporary* designation. The *provisional* designation is still returned by the MPC, at least if the "designation emails" do arrive now and then ;-) R....
MCPORB is a file of elements in MPC 1-line format and you will need it for track and stack and the ID list and the known object overlay. For NEOs there is a...
... Me too! Don't know how many thousand times I have renamed MPCORB:DAT and my userelements file so far to switch between them:-( Astrometrica should accept...
... Herr Raab, Have you ever consider to distribute Astrometrica on a cdrom along with the USNO-B1 and/or the GSC catalog? A full ready-to-go pack (speaking ...
... Astrometrica does not work with any GSC version and the USNO-B1.0 is unfortunately pretty large, distributed on a 120GB (?) hard-drive or so ;-) Noroc, ...
The GAS catalog is not generally used now, the accuracy is not in the same class as the newer catalogs and the USNO-B1 is 82 GB in size which is over 100...
... GAS? ... http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/ ... The final catalog is expected in 2006. ... I suspect this means at the GA in 2006, similar to the availability...
I've just checked the USNO web page. They state that the final catalogue should be ready some time in 2006. Given the delays that occurred with the release of...
... No, not really. Besides the problems mentioned by David and Reiner, Astrometrica is currently only distributed via download from the Astrometrica-web page....
... We are out of UCAC2 CDs, all 1000 copies have been distributed. If you know someone who has an original copy, please contact that person. If not, we still...
... V UCAC-2 Oups my mistake of course I was meaning UCAC-2 :-) ... Just to say that GSC 2.2 covers all sky for stars up to magnitude 18 (and there are some...
Also- I broke one of my 2UCAC discs, read that note, and emailed them anyway. My new discs arrived 5 days later.. But yes, the discs are copyright free and can...
... Yes, MPChecker, like all the MPC web scripts can be called directly. I've done this using CUrl, for example, but you could use languages such as Python....
... The GSC-ACT is based on GSC 1.1, and it is "now obsolete" (to city Bill Gray hiself), as newer catalogs (most noteably the UCAC and USNO-B) "offer more...
... Yes, I do. I have shipped 17 Copies of the USNO B1 so far within Europe. For practical purposes I copy also the USNO A2 and the UCAC 2 on the disk. Its...
The summer 2005 edition of the "Image of the Month" is now online at the Astrometrica web site, <http://www.astrometrica.at>. Click on the thumbnail image on...
... No need for an offline catalog (at least for the time being) as this USNO-B1 query via VizieR worked amazingly fast (even upon a dialup connection)...
... If you download the update files trough Astrometrica, the sofware will automatically merge the MPCOrb dat and the update, replacing the lines in the MPCOrb...
Hello List, I took roughly 180 frames of Tempel 1 during impact and stacked them into 8 - 5m images. Visually, I can not detect any substantial brightening....
... The ephemeris usually give the 'total' magnitude (m1) and/or the 'nuclear' magnitude (m2), and both values are frequently used by visual observers for...
Hi! I took a series of images of Tempel 1 starting about 5 minutes before impact with a Meade 12-inch LX-200 and Apogee AP-7b. Each was 50 seconds, with a...

You are right, but it also dumps HTML messages and the imbedded images. Anyway, here is a link: http://www.morning-twilight.com/dm448/DeepImp.html Clear Skies!...
Herbert I've regularly been making observations of some of the outer moons of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The MPC format for reporting these objects is: PnnnS...
