Re: [guide-user] More trouble with orbital elements

Hi Roger
I put in the vales from the jpl's dastcom database, and got results close to the MPC
If I am not mistaken, the MPC right ascention ( R.A ) and Declination ( Dec ) are computed for someone at the earth's centre or geocentric position.
Also for the elements, they have slightly different values used, so that has an effect to on the results.
