Phil, I guess I meant tiny compared to UL21. LOL
Yes, I can manually convert. Horizons even indicated the math to do it. For some reason the inquiry page https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/ does not provide for the option to display A in AU. I had used the method that Greg mentioned b4 Greg even mentioned it - Copy/Paste from a set of osculating elements generated at Horizons. It's always worked splendidly No screwing around with pasting in a bunch of singe lines of els. All of a sudden no worky. And today, I cannot even create a set of osculating elements like I did couple days back.
As you know 2024 MK will pass inside the orbit of the Moon. We need the latest els for the time of obs.
Not sure what is going on over at Horizons
