Phil, I'll add that few probably try to chase down faint fast movers. I'm thinking the Title will bring those wanting to know to the page. It can be very frustrating and disappointing to spend a good bit of time setting up an observation(s) only to fail. Weather. Real magnitude. Weak details of orbit. Etc... I've reached a point in my amateur life since Jan '83 that I get great enjoyment out of dynamic observing. Thin crescent moons, Galilean Moon phenomena, grazing occultations, rare active visual comets & solar eclipses. I've finally become fluent enough in using the powers of ST. It's chart making is superb for us guys that still don't use devices at the scope or Go-To.
And Phil, just an FYI, my old I5 quad core takes ~2:30 to complete an MPC NEA Today only refresh. And for some reason it seems to not replace the set I got last night from Horizons. Which is good. I need to experiment with that.
