ADES Astrometry Parser

Step

In program:

Action

1

Measure astrometry for one or more objects

2

Press F5 (or button) to refresh ADES edit area with newly measured astrometry from Astrometrica

3

Manually check for gross errors in astrometry e.g. using Find_Orb and exclude any lines not required

4

Set the correct Target Type for the object(s) contained in the ADES text

5

If necessary edit ADES text, e.g.

• Add one or more comment lines and/or private comment lines to the ADES header
• Manually add or update up to 6 Observing Note codes in the "notes" column of detail lines
• Manually add remarks in the "remarks" column of detail lines
• Remove photometry from detail lines if appropriate

6

Parse and convert the ADES text to MPC1992 format

7

Save the ADES text as a file (MPC1992 format text is also saved automatically in a separate file)

8

Submit the ADES file to the MPC

9

Accept or reject request to add any unsent or edited lines to the submission history

10

If more astrometry is being measured, restart at step 1

11

If all work has been completed, exit Astrometrica

12

  Rename Astrometrica log files (so any astrometry already processed in the Astrometrica output file is not loaded next time as if unprocessed)

13

Exit ADES Astrometry Parser
