Hello "toadatrix" (?)
Thank you for introduce the "Ast Dys" site. It provides great observation data !
I created convert program using Excel-VBA, and I put it on my site as:
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~fp6m-kud/guide_e.htm#astdys
Converted file much for dataset like MPC format.
When I try to use it by Find_Orb, the result was as below:
----------

----------
But 2nd time and after, Find_Orb does not work file. I don't know why...
Everytime Find_Orb use 6-observations on top.
I need to confess that I don't know how to use Find_Orb software.
Please try it, and let me know how to use.
