Dear Group,

I am trying to locate ephemeris data for 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann "B"
suitable for import into SkyMap Pro. I can very easily get the ephemeris
for the "C" fragment but no such luck for the "B" component.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks and clear skies.

Anthony.

Hi Anthony,

I got my orbital elements from here
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db?rec=900444
Not sure if they are SkyMap Pro friendly though

Robin/Iordani,

Thank you for the links. I will contact Chris Marriott regarding
importing these data into SMP.

Clear skies!

Anthony.

Use the Minor Planet Center's Minor Planet Ephemeris Service
(http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html), enter 73P-B (or
73P-G or 73P-AN or whichever fragment you want) and select "SkyMap" format
for element return. You get a file of orbital elements in SkyMap format
directly.
