Just received my MPC observatory code

[paulobao]

Hi,

in less than 24 hours after I sent the astrometric data reduction of 2 different asteroids tracked for 2 different nights, MPC sent me my code : J15. So, there still some folks that work well.

I'm happy:hello2:

Regards,

paulo

Sounds pretty impressive even though I haven't got a clue about the significance of it ... So well done Paulo

Yes congratulations Paulo. The asteroid Animations you showed us on SGL were just splendid. I'm sure your work is much appreciated by the authorities concerned, and they think highly of you.

Well done, but what does this all mean please, bit confused.

Thanks.

The MPC code means that the MPC recognised you as a person capable of making very accurate astrometric measures. The report you send to obtain the code must have data reduction of at least 2 asteroids capture in at least 2 nights with an error less than a 1" in AR, DEC and time (in my report the errors were less than 0.2 ").
