Re: [find_orb] No MPC Observatory Designation!

Andy Puckett Nov 18, 2015

If you use data only from images you feed into Astrometrica yourself, then you won't have a very accurate picture of the asteroids' orbits.  Instead (or in addition), feed Find_Orb the historical observational data available from the Minor Planet Center:

I use Astrometrica to take measurements. I want to use some measurements with find_orb to generate the orbits I can import into Stellarium but it wants my observatory code. I haven't received one from MPC yet. How can I move forward?  Thanks!!!
