Hi folks, Something of great significance to observers of artificial satellites: for almost two years, getting current elements has been a problem. The US...
I haven't heard of any change in policy. You can apply to space track, for approval to post tle data on your site, which people could download. So most likely...

Hi Bill, trying this new feature I got an error message. Looking manually to Mike McCants' Satellite Tracking Web Pages I saw that all pages have been moved to...
Hi Gerhard, The new 'tle.hee' has the correct links, to www.io.com. If you see links to Mike McCants' old site, then you must also have the old 'tle.hee'....
Hi Bill, ... Sorry, it was my failing. My XP system made a storage as "tle.hee.txt" and so Guide8 used the old file. Now it works. Its great to have this...
Bill, I dont know if this is possible, but what I would really like to do is be able to display Neo's from the NEO Confirmation page. They already provide the...
Hi Alan, It's possible to show NEOCP data as a user-added dataset. Markers are placed at each coordinate pair given in the ephemerides. You can click on any...
Bill, Did MoonView eventually not work, been renamed, or...? I still have the zip file for the program, but can't find the original instructions. I vaguely...
... Just found I had a bookmark for MoonView at http://home.gwi.net/%7Epluto/moonview/ Don't have a clue where I found it in the first place, but the bookmark...
Hi Alan, Something else I should have mentioned: you can fire up Find_Orb and load up the same NEOCP ephemerides that Guide displays, and Find_Orb will...
Hi Larry, Looks as if you solved the 'where is it' issue. MoonView does work, in its own user-abusive fashion, and hasn't been renamed. It's just been very...
Bill, I sent you a private email a few weeks ago and never received an answer so thought I would repost it here. Problem... I have noticed that with the...
Hi Bill, Thanks for the info on MoonView. Maybe someone who is a programmer will tackle finishing it. It's a really neat program, but I can see why it's not...
Hi Bill, Hope this helps solve the G8 MFC crashing: I'm using two copies of Guide, one with G8 on my C: drive, and one on a 1.0 gig jump drive. They are set up...
Does Guide include the ZC star catalog that is used in occultations by planetary bodies? If so, how does one find a specific ZC star? We have a graze very...
Hi Roger, I haven't done any occultation observing since 1986, so I'm pretty much out of touch. Hopefully, someone more currently knowledgeable will show up....
Hi Roger, This star is also known as SAO 190065, PPM 272111, HIP 104429, and HD 201301. So you can, if you wish, skip the following steps: just use Go...
I guess this if for anyone that will give advice. On Dec 9th I was imaging an area of the sky, I won't say which just yet, and after processing about 25...
Take a look at the NED: http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/ And at the DSS images: http://stdatu.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_form Clear skies Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Renz,...
Thanks Wolfgang. I had pulled up images covering the whole area using Guide and these did not show what I am imaging. I guess it could be a reflection or...
Did you try the MPChecker Minor Planet Checker too ? http://scully.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP It might find comets too. Clear skies Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Renz,...
Thanks. No sir no filters were used. 22x60 sec exposures showed an area which covers my aprox 1' image and would have been much larger. I will post this as...
Mike, since you've made your 'provenance' known about this suspicious object why don't you enlist your fellow amateurs? Enlist someone with a larger OTA to...
hi Mike. it would be really good if you could tell us were this is. many strange things can happen while imaging. as you use a refractor, a ghost reflection...
Hello, Larry, Grazing occultations are a lot of fun! I went to the Taygeta graze in Statesboro, GA in April of this year and got 8 events, by far my best ...
