Thanks for the input, that's what I expected. I'll explain in more
detail what I want. I want to create a detailed finder chart for the
spacecraft for my location during its March 4 flyby. I have acquired
the ephemerides - RA and DEC in one minute intervals. Now I need to
plot the path in the background of stars. The only way I see of doing
this in CDC is by adding labels ('x' for example), then drawing a line
through those x's with other software. A little problem is that it
will take much time to add over 100 labels, maybe there is a
possibility to automate this process, like read the coordinates from a
file and plot the labels all at once? If there's no way to do that, I
won't be very dissapointed, but if there is, I'll save a lot of time :)> If you had the elements in the right form, it could be loaded as an > asteroid, but I don't think the prediction would be very accurate.
