Thanks for that John. How do I 'de-select' (e.g.) comets that pass 'out
of range' ? Do I ctrl-click each one individually ? Can I select just
those asteroids and comets brighter than a certain limit ? And why is 3
Juno (as well as many others in the low numbers) missing from the list
of asteroids ?
