... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...

. To suspend a foreground process enter the key combination: Ctrl-z . Hold down the key marked Ctrl and press the Z key. This stops the current foreground process. If you are using the Bourne shell you will then have to kill the process . Other shells provide you with a facility to restart a process in the foreground or as a background job . Example .
