Hey all, I'm casting about for a variety of targets to image with my new-to-me Astro-Tech AT8RC. Since I'm using an OAG I won't be able to guide on the comet itself. PHD2 can accept tracking rates in RA and DEC and apply those as a correction to its guiding (openphdguiding.org/man-dev/Tools.htm#Comet_Tracking
), but ya gotta have the rates to do it. I can get a line from the Minor Planets Center that looks like this for C/2019 L3, but there are no headers to say which number is which: CK19L030 2022 01 9.6198 3.554511 1.001620 171.6106 290.7902 48.3610 20220201 4.5 4.0 C/2019 L3 (ATLAS) MPEC 2022-A21
The PHD manual says Cartes du Ciel can send the tracking rates to PHD; can Ekos, by any chance?
