Broken? Still curious where the elements for 2010 CA261 were fetched. The very only place I've found them is in a downloaded Lowell file with an epoch date of 2021 Oct 13 currently. The epoch I have currently in ST4 is Aug 22. So I've edited the elements or simply reprocessed the same Lowell elements. A single rock MPC search does not have a match.
Since there is no way to import hourly osculating elements using Horizons into ST for 2010 CA261 (no matching body found at Horizons), I've found that the positions (ephemeris) for tonight and tomorrow is vastly different from a gravitational simulator I've used.
ST4 Ephem tonight
AG4 ephem tonight
I think that the epoch date of Oct 13 is just too far away for ST. In fact, ST will not even produce an ephemeris for tonight after midnight because it believes the rock is too low to observe.
Sorry it's broken. I'm sure between you and Technoking, it will get fixed soon.
