Get the free program - "CCleaner". It will find any programs and parts of them anywhere on your drive and give you the ability to get rid of them. Same goes...

When I used the Czech Astronomical Society server today (June 1, 2009), to download Comet.Dat and MPCORB.Dat, the files were dated 10/15/2008. Trying the MPC...
Bad Czechs... Glad to be at least 30% Californian who has nothing to do with my native country. LN From: cspratt2001 Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 8:14 PM To:...
The Czech server has not had a current file since 10/15/2008. I asked on-list if this was ever going to be fixed, but there was no response. Clear and dark...
Maybe Astrometrica can be modified to reflect the content date of the orbit files being downloaded. Also Klet Observatory is a mirror site of the MPC, this...
... Unfortunately, Klet offers no ftp access to the data, and Astrometrica will try to download the data trough ftp. http is not the preferred method of choice...
You'll find this information in the MPC report that Astrometrica builds with the astrometry and photometry for the dected objects that you select. Regards Juan...
... After solving the image, use the 'Image Catalog' command in the 'Images' menu. It will, amongst other things, display the celestial coordinates and the...
Greetings, I just downloaded Astrometrica but when I click on HELp nothings happens. IS there a trick to getting the help file/instructions? I am using VISTA. ...
Hello Luis, open the folder where Astrometrica is installed with the Windows explorer, right-click on "Astrometrica.chm" (the compiled HTML-help file), choose...
Even with an aperture radius of 2 pixels and stars around 7 to 8 pixels (center to center) from the target, with sky background levels between, I rarely get a...

Thanks Herbert. This unlocked the file. I tried to blink two images I took last night, an hour apart. Is there a trick to lining up the images before blinking?...
... I am sorry, but it's a basic assumption in Astrometrica that all images that are blinked or solved in one batch have the same orientation. If you have...
Hi folks, I'd like your expertise in reviewing what I believe is my very first asteroid imaging. Have been at this a few months and with limited entry level...
Hello Luis, I also work with an AltAz mount and use Astrometrica for stacking images of weak asteroids and comets (up to mag 19.5) and doing observations to...
You can check for the unknown object at the MPC's "minor planet checker" at <http://scully.cfa.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP> It will tell you what asteroids were...
Thanks for the reminder, John. I did check and 363 was the only asteroid within 10 arcseconds of my coordinates. I was still hoping someone would blink my...
... Arcseconds? Or do you mean arcminutes? Attention to detail is very important. The (underfunded, understaffed) MPC really hates it if you send bad...
All, I'm a supernova hunter who wants to evaluate Astrometrica. I have just downloaded and installed the software, but when I try to start it, a box appears...
Well, you could always registerr your copy, that never fails, and it's cheap! Other than that, just be patient with the count-up. I lost my reg key, and...
Yes, I know, but I'm at day 1 of the trial period and the count up says that I'm 2000+ days over! This is normal behaviour? Did get it to start and it works...
Just started trying out Astrometrica. I hunt supernovae and one of the things a discovery report needs to include are offsets in RA and Dec from the galaxy...
