Hello Lawrence....
If you load ONLY the "neatod.dat" files and add that file under two different names to
the Guide folder (neatod.dat and mpcorb.dat).....same file exactly, just fool Guide and
change the name of the original neatod.dat file from the MPCORB daily database:

Then go to "Extras" and make sure to toggle "USE MPCORB" on....it will show those
asteroids on the list. We update daily here at ASO and incorporate those two identical
files for both Guide8 star fields and Charon measurements.
