A few days ago I got the latest data of unusual asteroids from the MPC and loaded them
into Guide.
When I looked at the position of 1998 WT24 on the evening of Dec. 15, 2001 (on that
evening I have observed this asteroid) to my surprise it was shown doubly a few arcminutes
apart. When I made an animation, the two copies of WT24 moved a little different
approaching each other.
When I looked at the file comets.dat, there WT24 was only once, with the data I just had
loaded from the internet. But even if I delete WT24 from comets.dat, Guide still shows it
with slightly different data.
Apart from comets.dat, I found a file named now_com.dat, which also contains data of
asteroids and comets. This file seems to be automatically generated by Guide. Even if
I delete this one, its there again when I open Guide for the next time. The data of WT24
in this file are the same as those in comets.dat. Apart from this, I could find no other file
containing data of asteroids (I don't use the mpcorb.dat file, it is not in my Guide-directory).

So, where does this additional copy of WT24 come from and how can I get rid of it?
Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Meinolf
