granted that the info necessary for Hermes is somewhere in those files, you
should be able to use the Go to | Object name option and type "1937 UB" (which
is the official designation), and Guide should center on it.

Now, you may have to fiddle with the Display | Data shown... dialog to both turn
asteroids on and settle on a reasonable mag limit. Hermes is somewhere around
mag 14.2 or so these days.

Good luck!

Best regards,

Arild :)
