Description

@talister

Two new Delta Rho/0m4's apparently appeared at ELP in December. They are:

elp aqwb 0m4a
elp aqwb 0m4b

These will need observatory/telescope positions to request new MPC codes and bright known asteroids scheduling and measuring in order to get codes issued. Tasks needed:

  • Obtain estimated telescope positions
  • Create branch and new temporary telescope entries/fake MPC codes to allow scheduling of the specific telescopes
  • Schedule observations of 10 numbered NEAs over 2-3 nights as per instructions - DONE
  • Measure positions - DONE
  • Obtain and measure 2 additional NEOs for 0m4b/sq46 on 2 extra nights DONE
  • Request new site codes from MPC as per instructions UNDERWAY
    • 0m4a DONE, NOW V45
    • 0m4b DONE, NOW V47
  • Inform @drhaz to pass onto user, update LCO MPC Codes page page and LCO Astrometrica parameters sheet for edu users
  • Update temporary code entries with final MPC codes and add to 0m4 group in NEOexchange
  • Update telescope design, aperture, f/ratio and detector strings in ADES output routine
  • Merge to main and deploy
