Hi Bill,
I don't usually look at asteroids very often but seeing this thread I
decided to check and guess what? No asteroids. I'm running the 3 Nov 2005
version of Guide.
Use MPCord is greyed out and if I try entering an asteroid name or number it
says not a valid object! Also, if I ask Guide to list current visible
comets there they are, but nothing brighter than mag 18!
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Roger
