Re: [guide-user] asteroid flyby

Hi Fr. Pat,

Sorry about the delay in sending help but I have been busy last night.
What I use for finding the positions of asteroids is the MPC database
called MPCORBcr
If this is down loaded and placed in the Guide directory, Guide will use
it immediately. I know that is no use to you now for 2002 NY40, but for
other observations it really is the best.
You can download it from

ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/

I hope this helps.. best regards

Alan
