Hi Carlo,
I'm replying to your question in the Support Section about (376) Geometria missing from your minor planet database. That MP is not included in the Observing List of Current Bright & Interesting Minor Planets that my ST4v downloaded on 2024 Apr 2. I believe that the list of 'Bright' MPs that you downloaded from the MPC using SkyTools several days ago is the same list of MPs as the Current Bright & Interesting Minor Planets list with several distant objects like (136472) Makemake and (50000) Quaoar added. That OL only has 46 MPs in it. How many MPs are currently in your MP DB?
Since you deleted all of the MPs in your database, you'll need to add the additional missing MPs back in. ST4v allows you to choose which objects to add by checking the appropriate boxes when downloading MPCORB as shown here:
Checking any of the boxes other than Bright will result in a download of many thousands (possibly >100,000) MPs to your database. The full MPCORB file contains orbits for ~1.3E^6 objects.
Hope this helps,
Phil S.
