A quick loading of a chosen series of frames (see 2.1) will be done before the manual control (filtration) of a detected track. You can load the window with tracks (Fig. 2.12) of detected frames through Manual filter. The following manual filtration operations will be done in this window.

File with results can be loaded by choosing «CLT(*.kam)»n the tab «control» of the tracks’ window (Fig. 2.12) , field «loading».

In option window (Fig. 2.13) you can choose desired results’ files (extension .kam).

Loading of file with objects being detected according to MPC information will be done through «MPC(*.DE)» in the tab «contlol» of the tracks’ window, field «loading». Then you can choose the file of results (extension .DE) in the option window (Fig. 2.14).

The settings for results’ representation can be chosen through «control» of the

tracks’ window, field «display». The following information will be available:

- detected track area (activating the setting CLT strobe);

- track marks (activating the setting CLT mark);

- strobes of asteroids, detected according to MPC information (activating the setting МРС strobe).

- all marks for interframe processing with additional characteristics (activating the setting All marks).

All the settings can be displayed jointly or separately.

The detected track area will be marked on the frame with a yellow rectangle, placed along the motion of a space object, having the number of the present track in the results’ file (Fig. 2.15).

The mark will be represented by a little yellow square with its center matching the coordinates of the mark and having the number of the present track in the results’ file.

Asteroids, detected according to MPC information will be displayed as a big red square with its center matching the equatorial coordinates of MPC object. The

low side of the square contains the current name of the asteroid used by MPC, plus its apparent
brightness’ evaluation according to MPC information. Names of the tracks which were not identified with known asteroids will be marked out with a bold type in the tracks’ general list. Track with NEO-rating exceeding the set number will be marked with a green background and track with velocity exceeding the set one will be marked with a red background. To set criteria for NEO-rating and velocity you have to choose tab control of the tracks’ window on the board marking.

You will see the following symbols at the display of all marks used in interframe processing (Fig. 2.16). Marks for the inner catalog’s objects will be displayed in the form of a red upright cross. Marks rejected for apparent brightness’ rate will be displayed in the form of a blue upright cross. Marks on the total frames (superframes) rejected for a small quantity of matching marks on the initial frames will be displayed in the form of an oblique purple cross. Marks used in tracks’ formation will be displayed as a yellow square.

The tracks’ choice can be done by pushing The window size magnifying glass has to comprise the whole strobe of studying track.

Then you may pass from one track to another using arrows or cursor in the tab

If after strobe’s studying the object moving within determined track is not identified, the track can be closed through «Space» or there will be (Fig. 2.15). Then the same operations may be applied to the next track. You can see the board (Fig. 2.17) with track’s information by a double click on the chosen track. It will include coordinates
