Re: [guide-user] Tonights asteroid pass

Hi Bill,

as described by Dr. Clay I loaded the file "neatod.dat" and renamed it to
"mpcorb.dat". Than I copied it to the guide folder. But the position of the
object 2009 DO111 did not change in comparison to the position shown with
the big "mpcorb.dat" file used before. It was still off about 45' from real
sky position recorded by me.

And with both data file sources the same epoch of "June 18, 2009" is shown
in Info. I thought "neatod.dat" is always for the current epoch.

Have I to use your tool "integrat.exe" to integrate this file to the current
epoch before the use in guide?

Which format of this files should be used in guide, the version with "cr" or
without? I think until now I always used the "mpcorbcr.dat" version.

Regards
Gerhard
