Hi all, I would like to use the CMC-14 catalogue, in certain circumstances, instead of USNO B1. As there is any mention of it in the MPC guide line I went to...
IMHO, if you are using USNO-B1 at all, you should be using NOMAD instead. And Nomad is accepted by the MPC - I've been reporting using Nomad for ~6 months. For...

I, too, have been having a look at Hipparcos 2 since it became available at the Strasbourg VizieR server. My use tends to be for individual stars, and it...

One of the things I've learnt over the decades is that there is no such thing as a star catalogue that does not have anomalous/erroneous entries. The larger...

This one was obviously kept "secret" since there are no observations from 2007, though plenty bright enough to be observed with a ~2-m telescope. The MPC...

The delayed reporting of these objects are caused by the fact that I think Andy Becker just recently started really mining the 2005-2006 SDSS data for distant ...

This object was reported to the MPC in January 2007, after there were enough observations from late 2006 to reach back into the 2005 SDSS data and confirm this...

I might add that if you have submitted two nights together, and have not received a designation notice back from them, you can plug your original observations...
Agreed, but it will be the designation to use for the follow-up observation, which was the question. After the orbit is computed you will find out for sure. ...
