Here's the row for Auravictrix taken from MPCORB.DAT

Code:
00700   11.2   0.15 K1014  12.78026  100.98611   96.94078    6.78714  0.1039735  0.29609134   2.2293876  0 MPO 77283   716  34 1893-2005 0.54 M-v 38h Goffin     0000    (700) Auravictrix        20050204
Does SNP accept data in MPC format? The SNP versions of the MPC files are at http://www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau...es/Soft07.html but that's only a subset of data.

I've found all sorts of databases but none of them contain this object. One reason why I wanted a good planetarium program was so I could identify and hunt down these obscure objects.
Give it enough catalogs and CdC will display more objects that you want to know about.
