OW Cuts off object name.

V Sempronio All Messages By This Member #177 The asteroids aren't a problem since they start with their numeric designation, but comet names have problems since you need the entire designation to identify it or search for it online. Case in point... 20 Sept event of ATLAS (C/2020 N Um, what comes after the N? The details of the event doesn't have a longer name, so I'm not sure how to identify it. V
hristo_dpavlov All Messages By This Member #178 This is a bit out of context, while I am guessing what you may be asking, I am not completely sure. Can you provide more context and details about what you are trying to do and where. Hristo.

V Sempronio All Messages By This Member #181 um, I refrained from asking why are Asteroid Name (comets in this case) cut off on the listings? Instead I gave an example.... here is a snip from the "Comet Occultation" section of the OW listing. The names of the comets are truncated, so I have no idea what comet they really are. It is difficult to research them further, in this case. If you look at the details of an event (right click and "additional event details"), that doesn't help either because the object name is truncated there as well. so, is there anywhere to go to find out what the full name is of an object? As i stated before, asteroids aren't an issue since their official number is listed first and therefore easy to find online. that was all... V
hristo_dpavlov All Messages By This Member #182 The cut off is due to the very old design of OccultWatcher desktop client, which was initially intended for asteroids only and then comets were added later. The? 'Comet Ocultation' predictions are uploaded to OWC so if you follow the "View details on the web" link from below, this will attempt to open up the OWC page which will contain all the information you are asking for. However because of a change of comet designation format for named comets by MPC this is currently not working as OWC cannot resolve the comet. You can find out which is the comet if you go to: and then in the Future Events sections select the date and identify the event by time/star etc. Unfortunately the links on this page will also not work at the moment for the same reason. I will try to resolve this problem before Carlos uploads the next set of comet predictions. Hristo.
