MOST - Moving Object Search Tool
The Moving Object Search Tool (MOST) can determine the orbit for a given solar system object then find images that covered the object's predicted positions in select image datasets housed at IRSA (see
Instructions
). It can serve as a "precovery" tool to see if newly discovered objects were previously observed.
