How I set These Up
#27
Hi Greg,

No, I wasn't suggesting that solving the n-body problem was the way to go in ST4. I do like the idea of a set of 3 element sets calculated for the before, middle & after close approach as HORIZONS provides & have SkyTools interpolate between them as appropriate as you said at the end of your 2nd paragraph: "Unless the object has really good astrometry that goes back at least for many months, if not years, it may not be worth the trouble to use different sets of elements, unless it is passing very close (say, withing the earth-moon distance). Even then, for most I would think a set of three elements: before, closest, and after, should suffice." FYI, Mythbusters did succeed in polishing a turd  Wink .
