David Briggs has brought to my attention that there is a problem with today's MPCOrb database. When loading the database, the software "freezes" just before...
Guys, I marked an object as detected manually as Astrometrica didn't find it automatically in the 'moving object detection' (it was 2002XR40 in images from 27...

Detlef, unfortunately, the numbers (speed and direction) are not available for manual detections. That would certainly not be too difficult to compute, the...
I investigated on the problem and found that today's MPCOrb database seems to include (alomst) all elements twice: There are 326'140 lines with all the...
