Stub MPC report (for online MPChecker)

Don't forget to copy the leading white spaces and change the observatory code! The code 'C32' is 'Ka-Dar Observatory, TAU Station, Nizhny Arkhyz', the code '500' is the geocenter. Make sure there are no trailing white spaces after the observatory code. The string should be exactly 80 characters long to conform to the MPC format.
Mean position:

     TAU0008  C2026 09 05.16828 16 46 59.15 -16 21 28.3          13.7 R      V36

Position measured on individual images:

     TAU0008  C2026 09 05.16801 16 46 59.18 -16 21 28.4          13.7 R      V36

You may copy/paste the above measurements to the following online services:
MPChecker (in case the button does not work)
NEOCMTChecker (NEO's and comets)
sat_id2 (artificial satellites; needs at least two observations to work)
fitsblink_satellites (art. sat.; you'll need to save the astrometry as a text file and upload it)
