Hello all,
I have just downloaded and installed v1.26g of EQASCOM and was playing around with the custom track feature, where you can get the orbital elements of a certain object ie. Comet. and enter it into a txt file and then EQASCOM works out the custom track values. Handy for tracking on comet heads etc...
The issue I was having is I cannot load the txt file into EQASCOM the area remains blank. This has now been resolved in a new update to EQASCOM v1.27a Also if you don't want to upgrade you can change the text in the customtrack file from !format=mpc to !format = mpc (note the spaces around the equals sign. This will correct the problem.
