Hi Dennis,

Do you download the MPC's NEAs at Today's Epoch file or the regular NEA file? The NEAs at Today's Epoch file is the one to use I think. Otherwise you may get the standard epoch that's currently 2023 Feb 25 0000 UT.

Hi Phil

It looks like Astorb.dat and the MPC NEA Today's Epoch produce quite different results?

I have attached the plots from Astorb.dat and MPC NEA Today's Epoch, with inserts showing the source data files used. I have also circled the date/time and location data.

Prior to this, I used the ST4 Function to delete all minor planets and then imported the NEA's again.

Cheers

Dennis
