ast2ted,file,outfile,slowfile

Inputs

file - Final astrometry file to read and summarize.
outfile - Name of file to write results to.
slowfile - Name of file to write slow moving (or DES) objects to
(default=don't save slow objects to a separate file)

Optional Input Parameters

Keyword Input Parameters

DESOBJ - optional string array of names of DES interesting objects.
if provided, this controls the objects that are written to
slowfile. The slow objects are not written to outfile.

Procedure

Modification History

2000/02/15, Written by Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory
2001/04/18, MWB, added slowfile output option
2002/09/09, MWB, added support for string obscode values
2004/07/24, MWB, added DESOBJ keyword
2005/05/25, MWB, changed output to ted files when handling DES objects
Slow moving/KBO objects are no longer saved to the
main output file AND to the slowfile. Now objects
are saved in only one file. If slowfile name is not
provided then DESOBJ is ignored and all objects are
saved to outfile.
2005/10/12, MWB, fixed bug that prevented saving slow moving objects to a
separate file if the mysql-based list was empty
