Summary | 0001784: Preventing Asteroid Recalculation | ||||
Description | I changed the date on CdC to 24th October 1847 to see what the phase of the Moon was on the night of the 'Carrington Flare'. CdC insisted in recalculating the ephemeris of all the asteroids before I could look at the Calendar. This takes some time on my machine and I was not interested in the result. Would it be possible to either add a confirmation / cancellation box before the asteroid calculation starts ? | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | As above | ||||
Additional Information | Are the current elements valid for 1847 ? If not there ought to be some sort of limit or warning to prevent people generating non-sensible data. Generating this for dates when you are not interested slows the programme. | ||||

What is your CdC version? Current version 4.0 do not compute the asteroid if the elements are more than 10 years old. The fist time you change the date to 1847 it search if elements for this date are available (you can find them on NASA Horizon). If it not find any, you see "End of processing: 0 asteroid", and the "Show asteroid" button is automatically disabled to prevent a new search if you change the date by a few days. When you are not interested by asteroid just uncheck the "Show asteroid" button to prevent any computation. |
