Asteroid names
Scott Kranz Jan 23, 2008
I've loaded today's MPCORB file and am trying to locate 2007 TU24.
When I do a >GO to>Asteroid> and enter "2007 TU24" it says "Not an
asteroid".
I went to the MPC site and found the location of the asteroid and went
to that location (RA & Dec) in GUIDE. Sure enough the asteroid is
there as designated by an "X" but there is no label on it. Can GUIDE
not locate the asteroid if no lable is on it?
Next in the the "data shown..." window I do have the label box for
asteroids check-marked and on the right hand side of the window I
selected "Label name, prov". Still no name appears in GUIDE next to
the "X" for the asteroid.
What I am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
