Neocp integration

Open ziriuz84 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I'm working with Neocp and developing a software for it. Is it possible to query MPC also for Neocp ephemeris?

I'm not aware of NEOCP support, but it certainly would be a very nice new addition of functionality to the mpc module.

@bsipocz is correct. The current functionality is mapped to the MPC Ephemeris Service https://minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html A new NEOCP/PCCP addition would be great.

Unfortunately I discovered that MPES doesn't cover NEOCP/PCCP ephemeris. I tried multiple times, but without result. In my project I'm using bs4 to scrape pages with results from various forms for anything that doesn't involve MPES (Observing target list, Neocp confirmation, ...).

I'm trying to implement Neocp ephemeris in my code with bs4. If I realize how to implement it and if web scraping through bs4 is OK I can try to implement it in astroquery. I'll update this issue if I win :smile:
