Hi Clay.

I did my last numerical integration of the MPCORB data set on 10 July 2011. The Epoch of the data set is 13 Feb 2011. 2010 DK71 is almost behind the Sun right now 2.5 AU from the Earth according to the guide info listing. I am wondering if the guide data set is wrong or if the MPC elements are wrong. It a long stretch for a one night stand.

It is not on my observing list I was just curious about that bright magnitude that Guide is giving me.

Thanks and keep cool.

Bob

Hello Bob....
I have the latest list of NEOs loaded from MPC and they are not even showing 2010 DK as a
listed target, much less a bright one.
How long since you updated your database?
