Re: 333P - MPC coordinates far off


 

Hi Thomas,
I imaged this comet last night 20241126_27.
I used the MPC ephemeris in Astrometrica to measure with.
My astrometry as submitted to MPC last night is attached. I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Subject: [comets-ml] 333P - MPC coordinates far off



I am currently doing some work on older images and noticed a large difference
in coordinates of 333P between MPC and JPL. While the latter are very close to
the position of the comet in the image the former are off by almost 1 degree.
In addition to the wrong position the web form

does return a completely wrong motion vector as well.

Could anybody check this?

Thanks
Thomas
