It was in the Close Approaching Asteroids>Feature Requests Thread that you started asking for features to add to ST 4.1. Here's my reply #2:
"Hi Greg,
Apparently the MPC provides element data files for all of the NEOs at Today's Epoch ±15 days. It could be useful to be able to select one of these other element data files besides the one at Today's Epoch.
Since ST4 is limited to one set of elements per 200 day interval (maybe that's not the correct way to describe it), for especially close passes could the data file from HORIZONS be read & used to provide different sets of elements during the pass?
Sorry, that's 2 wishes![[Image: wink.png]](https://skyhound.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.png)

That thread went for 3 pages. You said that you had some ideas already & to leave the solutions up to you.
