my first post here.</font>
<pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_0"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Are the correct sources for Comets, NEAs and Supernovae included in KStars?
In Sky Chart / CdC comets are at <a href="http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/Soft00Cmt.txt">http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/Soft00Cmt.txt</a>
and Asteroids (including NEAs) are at <a href="http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPCORB/MPCORB.DAT.gz">http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPCORB/MPCORB.DAT.gz</a>
Is there a way for a user to nominate or at least see the links of the sources which are used in KStars?
Similar concern for new supernovae.
Two examples:
Comet C/2015 V2 (Johnson) does not appear in the KStars comets list but it has at present been rather prominent. </font>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">How is it designated if it is actually in the list already?</font>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The new What is Interesting feature looks very nice but, but again, I cannot find Comet C/2015 V2 (Johnson)
</font>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The Near Earth Object 2014 JO25 was visible in amateur telescopes last April 20th. I had to use CdC to find it. </font>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">NEOs really need a separate listing so that they are not hidden in the list of well known asteroids. The same applies to comets and supernovae.</font>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">These really new or currently interesting objects need to be listed separately as they are really very interesting!
KStars is my favorite.
