... Ah, now I understand. On this group your wording "I've found a fairly bright asteroid" is easily assumed to mean you found it in your images, unless...
... Definitely. The MPC's "Guide" suggests "Report two or three observations of each object from each night", so to make sure you have enough images to get ...
... I was under the impression that Lowell independently created its own elements based on the raw observations - perhaps it just adopts the H and G values...
Hi David, That does explain a lot.. I guess I always assumed that an object with this many oppositions would have a much lower value.. Regards -Scott...
Hi, just because I'm using astrometrica for a lot of data reduction for differents nights, I need only one log file by shot. These method permit to me an...
Hello Luca, the SNR listed by Astrometrica is the peak SNR, that is, simply the signal of the brightest pixel (and only this single pixel) compared to the...
Ok Herbert, thank you very much for your quick reply. Regards, Luca ... Da: Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com]Per conto di...
Herbert, After a year of astrometric reporting I find that after studying photometric methods V is not "visual" but thru a Cousins V photometric filter. Yikes!...
Herbert, Isn't this a bit unnecessary concern? As I understand it, stars in all catalogs are NOT photometric standards. The mixture is unpredictable and ...
I have been wondering if any of the astrometric magnitude reports are used in determining the G and H values that are given in MPECs for comets. How does the...
If memory serves me well (??), determination of comet magnitudes is not an easy task. I hope I am not wrong but Astrometrica has not been designed to do that....
... You are right, the UBVR system was not even defined when the POSS I was done. But I would not call it an unnecessary concern. If you observer trough a red...
Herbert, Great to hear from you both on scientific and personal level. I prefer to keep things simple, if I can as long as it is reasonable. I believe most (if...
Dear freidns, I was recetly upgrading my new internet account. I have some hints that some (incoming and/or outgoing) messages may have been lost. So if anyone...
Thanks. I guess V is the way to go. Next time out we'll shoot thru the Cousins V, hopefully it will not attenuate to an unacceptable level. Plus we can mix in...
Unable to connect to the Harvard mirror site through Astrometrica to Track and Stack...was working fine a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if they are having a...
In the past I have occasionally run into trouble accessing the European Vizier site - and have changed to the Japanese mirror. A couple of time I have had ...
I cannot speak for Herbert, of course. But I doubt he wants to be involved in a true 'photometric' project. I mentioned here the Canopus program by Brian...

Hello, does anybody can explain how I can find the better aperture radius parameters for detection with the apparent diameter relations ? In astrometrica...
The FWHM is a combination of several factors - object size, telescope resolution, blurring caused by atmospheric seeing. It is an observed quantity - derived...
Yann, in addition to what Dave Herald alread explained, I just wanted t point out that the FWHM in Astrometrica is given in arc seconds, whereas the aperture...
