Open astrometry from Astrometrica F5. Loads the upper edit area with the astrometry from the Astrometrica output file ADESReport.psv. Same as pressing function key F5. If “Exclude submitted” is selected, only astrometry that has not already been submitted to the MPC from this program since it last started will appear in the upper edit area, otherwise, all astrometry in the file will be shown. Only enabled if the |
|
Parse and convert. Any ADES astrometry in the upper edit area is converted to 80-column MPC1992 format astrometry and placed in the lower edit area. This button can be used any time, to re-convert if for instance the ADES lines have been changed (e.g., if photometry has been removed, or observing notes codes added to a line). The converted MPC1992 text is automatically copied to the clipboard. |
|
Save text as file. The text in the upper edit area is saved as a text file in the folder named in the <yyyymmdd> is the session date = the local date when the local time was last 12 noon (i.e. yyyymmdd does not change during the local night) <file ID> is a sequential one or two character string, starting with A-Z then A0-AZ, B0-BZ, up to ZZ, incremented each time a file is saved <type> is the currently selected type (NEOCP, NEO, MBA, Comet etc.). This is included in the file name to allow the user identify archived files of a specific target type quickly. Only enabled if the |

Use the Submit ADES astrometry file configuration. After ADES astrometry is saved using Only enabled if “File to submit” is an existing .psv file in the folder named in the |

Find next unused File ID. Searches text files with the current session date in the folder named in the Only enabled if the |
|
Add ADES skeleton comment line. Adds a “# comment” line followed by an empty “! line” line to the ADES text header lines to allow the user to easily add manual comment line(s) to be sent to the MPC. A valid comment might appear as: # comment ! line This is text to send to the MPC with this batch If multiple lines are required, manually copy and paste extra “! line” lines. There should be a maximum of one “# comment” line in a batch. |
|
Add private ADES skeleton comment line (not transmitted to MPC). Similar to “Add ADES skeleton comment line” but adds a “# localuse comment” line followed by an empty “! localuse line” line to the ADES text to allow the user to easily add manual comment line(s) that will NOT be sent to the MPC. Use if there is a need to save information about the batch that is not relevant to the MPC. If multiple lines are required, copy and paste extra “! localuse line” lines. There should be a maximum of one “# localuse comment” line in a batch. See also Local Use file copies. |
|
Undo and Redo. Allow any changes made to the ADES text area to be undone and redone. |

Add all unsubmitted lines in current ADESReport.psv to Submission history. Works in conjunction with the “Exclude submitted?” check box. Use when all astrometry intended to be sent to the MPC has been sent, leaving some lines that should not be sent. This option adds all unsubmitted lines to the submission history. If Exclude submitted? is ticked then this will stop them from being added back into the upper edit area if Only enabled if the |

|
Rename current Astrometrica log files. Appends the LastWriteTimeUtc of the ADESReport.psv file, in yyyymmddhhmmss format to the three Astrometrica log files if they exist. So, if the .psv file was last changed on 2021-Jan-18 19:38:48 UTC then the ADESReport.psv, Astrometrica.log and PhotReport.txt files would be renamed to ADESReport20210118193848.psv, Astrometrica20210118193848.log and PhotReport20210118193848.txt. If there is no .psv file and the 80-column MPC1992 format file MPCReport.txt exists, the LastWriteTimeUtc of that file will be used instead. Only enabled if the |
