Thanks for the details Peter and once again, congratulations on having one of these dynamic bodies named in honour of your search efforts.

In TheSky 6 Pro I find them by name but in SkyTools I use astorb.dat. So, does anyone know the difference(s) between these two, namely:

MPCORB.DAT at http://www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau/MPCORB.html

and…

astorb.dat at ftp://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/elgb/astorb.html

Thanks!

Dennis
