FIND_ORB Input Data

toadatrix Jun 3, 2004

Using the new orbit data from Steve Preston I was able to get Guide8
to match the published predictions regarding the Sept 5, 2004
occultation of TYC 5244 0017 by asteroid 107 Camilla. Steve also
sent me the raw observations (611 of them) used to determine
Camilla's orbit. Now, just for fun, I am trying to see if I can
replicate his orbit using FIND_ORB. The problem I am having is how
to format the input file so that FIND_ORB will accept the data. I
also tried the follwing file as input, but I can't get FIND_ORB to
accept this one either:

What do I need to do to the data to get it into a format the FIND_ORB
will accept? I tried editing the 107.rwo file shown in the link
above to make it look more like the example file that comes with
FIND_ORB but still I had no luck.

Thanks.
