In next version, I will take the first letter of the filter name. That is easy. If you succeed or have any problem with the format tell me. I assume MPC is still interested in NEO, near earth observations. Success, Han

This is the list. It looks like you can only report when you have a filter. OBSERVED MAGNITUDE AND BAND The observed magnitude (normally to a precision of 0.1 mag.) and the band in which the measurement was made. The observed magnitude can be given to 0.01 mag., where such precision is justified. The default magnitude scale is photographic, although magnitudes may be given in V- or R-band, for example. In the past for comets, the magnitude was specified as being nuclear, N, or total, T, but observers...

Hi Russ, This is the standard { https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/info/OpticalObs.html Columns Format Use 1 - 5 A5 Packed minor planet number 6 - 12 A7 Packed provisional designation, or a temporary designation 13 A1 Discovery asterisk 14 A1 Note 1 15 A1 Note 2 16 - 32 Date of observation 33 - 44 Observed RA (J2000.0) 45 - 56 Observed Decl. (J2000.0) 57 - 65 9X Must be blank 66 - 71 F5.2,A1 Observed magnitude and band (or nuclear/total flag for comets) 72 - 77 X Must be blank 78 - 80 A3 Observatory...

Hi Tim, A few months ago. on request, I added the photometry command-line. As described here https://www.hnsky.org/astap.htm#photometry_command-line In the photometry tab there is check-mark option "calibration" which should do calibration automatic. I have only briefly tested it and then left it. I'm not doing much photometry myself. So it has never been full tested. You can have a look and see if it is workable. Report your finding and tell me what is missing. cs, Han
