Default text for this is supplied, but should be replaced. The opposition data lists the date of the next opposition and the declination and visual magnitude at that time. The list of available formats for the orbital elements was correct at the time this document was prepared. It is possible that the Minor Planet Center now supports futher formats. If you select the summary option, any newly supported formats will be listed.
Designations are case sensitive.
Elements The elements supplied are the latest published elements for the specified objects. Elements will be found even if the designation you enter is a non-principal designation in an identification or if the object has been numbered. Ephemerides The ephemerides supplied for main-belt minor planets and comets are unperturbed. Ephemerides from perturbed orbit solutions are generated from elements at the nearest 200-day epoch. The accuracy of the ephemerides for most objects will be entirely sufficient to locate the objects for current astrometric observation.
