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.

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)

Here is a stub line for reporting a new transient to the TOCP. Don't forget to set the constellation name and the number of days since the last non-detection!

All-image limiting magnitude estimate:  14.9 (SNR )  11.9 (80% of stars)  with default.sex.telephoto_lens_onlybrightstars_v1
The first estimate is the magnitude of a star detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of  following Karpov (2025, Acta Polytechnica, 65, 50). 
This value should be representative of the faintest stars clearly visible in the image. 
The brighter of the limiting magnitude estimates for the two second-epoch images is reported here.
The second estimate is the 80th percentile of the magnitude distribution of stars detected on all four images.
This value is representative of the faintest object that may enter the candidate transients list.
The hard cut-off for the candidate transients is 15.5 mag.

Matched 1329 stars with the local copy of UCAC5.
The local UCAC5 search seems to be a success
SIP_REFIT: re-match found 1329 pairs (1761 from the previous matching)
SIP_REFIT: the 1329 catalog matches do not cover the frame (756/563/9/1 per quadrant, need 83 in each) - keeping the original solution
SIP_REFIT: the refit on the re-matched pairs was not applied - keeping the current solution

SIP_REFIT: rescue pairs per quadrant (q1/q2/q3/q4): initial matching 846/611/177/127, final 756/563/9/1
SIP_REFIT: the rescued solution is not measured over the whole frame (pairs per quadrant 756/563/9/1, the initial matching had 846/611/177/127; a quadrant with less than 70% of its pairs left is unmeasured) - treating the rescue as failed
SIP_REFIT: the rescue did not beat the solution it replaced (worst region 1.750 vs 24.362 arcsec) - restoring the original solution and catalog pairs

SIP_REFIT: refit does not sufficiently improve on the solution it would replace (best worst-region baseline 23.786 arcsec) - keeping the original
SIP_REFIT: the solution being kept is bad (worst region 23.786 arcsec, more than 1.0 pixel) while the order-3 trial fits the frame as a whole to 0.394 arcsec - the catalog pairs in the bad region are probably wrong rather than the model; attempting a rescue: provisional refit, catalog re-match, second refit

SIP_REFIT: re-matching the catalog with the refit solution (cycle 1, search radius 3.0 arcsec, 1816 pairs from the previous matching)
UCAC5 search strategy: trying local copy first
Found a local copy of UCAC5

Searching UCAC5 zones 530 to 589 (Dec 16.2 to 27.5)
Done reading UCAC5 zone files...
Matched 1323 stars with the local copy of UCAC5.
The local UCAC5 search seems to be a success
SIP_REFIT: re-match found 1323 pairs (1816 from the previous matching)
SIP_REFIT: the 1323 catalog matches do not cover the frame (755/564/2/2 per quadrant, need 82 in each) - keeping the original solution
SIP_REFIT: the refit on the re-matched pairs was not applied - keeping the current solution
Accuracy estimation diagnostic: 1323 matched stars entering correct_measured_positions(), 9388 with non-zero local correction accuracy
Estimated accuracy of the plate solution: 19.46" 
Accuracy estimation diagnostic: 1323 matched stars entering correct_measured_positions(), 3521 with non-zero local correction accuracy
Estimated accuracy of the plate solution: 0.25" 
SIP_REFIT: rescue pairs per quadrant (q1/q2/q3/q4): initial matching 852/625/188/151, final 755/564/2/2
SIP_REFIT: the rescued solution is not measured over the whole frame (pairs per quadrant 755/564/2/2, the initial matching had 852/625/188/151; a quadrant with less than 70% of its pairs left is unmeasured) - treating the rescue as failed
SIP_REFIT: the rescue did not beat the solution it replaced (worst region 0.489 vs 23.786 arcsec) - restoring the original solution and catalog pairs
