Horizon Help Needed
steven ho
Not sure what I am doing wrong. I got the JPL data as instructed below....
========================================= Select your Target Body and edit: (Example) "C/2022 E3" (without quotes) and 'search only small bodies', then click search. Edit your location edit your time Tabel Settings: 2,3,4,7,9 Then click Generate Ephemeris Then download the results. ========================================= I positioned to mount to the current comet's RA & DEC coordinates. Connected the mount in Horizons Loaded the JPL file created above. Pressed Track Target, Second Horizon screen appears. Pressed Start Tracking Now and ERROR Msg appears indicating the target is not above the horizon, which it clearly is SEE attached screen shot Your help is most appreciated!! Steve |
