Hi - Is it posible to get Astrometrica to display the centre of the CCD field RA & Dec plus the position angle other than by putting the cursor on the centre...
... Andrew, the coordinates of the image centre and the position angle are stored in the log file, along with some other information on the image. Hope this...

Ladislav, thanks for your precious advices. So you say Astrometrica is the only tool I need to complete the MPC search. Right? I wrote this message because I...
No, the MPC will determine the orbit after you submit your observations. There is software that will do this for you if you're interested, but that's not a...
Glad to be of some help. Orbital elements are NO NO for amateurs. Maybe as an additional hobby if you master it (I think Reiner Stoss here does it routinely,...

I don't have much experience with them since I just let the MPC do the calculations. Back when I was just starting asteroid astrometry, I used Bill Gray's...
From what I've seen: FindOrb is good value for ease of use. I use that with new discoveries, when I get new observations. If you wanted to do serious stuff,...

Juan, you camera software probably stores the start of the exposure to the FITS header. The mid-exposure time for each individual image can be calculated by...
Herbert, I've tried changing the setting from start to middle of exposure time when loading the stacks and it does the trick. Do you mean that if set the...
