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.

All-image limiting magnitude estimate: 15.5 (SNR ) 12.4 (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.

SIP_REFIT: applied the refit solution (order 5, robust RMS 1.278 -> 0.266 arcsec)
SIP_REFIT: re-matching the catalog with the refit solution (cycle 1, search radius 3.0 arcsec, 4920 pairs from the previous matching)
UCAC5 search strategy: trying local copy first
Found a local copy of UCAC5
UCAC5 local query limit 5000: matching up to 5000 detected stars, deepening the UCAC5 window to mag 15.50
Reading UCAC5 zone files...
Searching UCAC5 zones 530 to 589 (Dec 16.2 to 27.4)
Done reading UCAC5 zone files...
Matched 4738 stars with the local copy of UCAC5.
The local UCAC5 search seems to be a success
SIP_REFIT: re-match found 4738 pairs (4920 from the previous matching)

SIP_REFIT: the refit on the re-matched pairs is worse than the solution it would replace (worst-region 0.420 vs 0.418 arcsec) - keeping the current solution
SIP_REFIT: the refit on the re-matched pairs was not applied - keeping the current solution

All-image limiting magnitude estimate: 15.5 (SNR ) 14.7 (80% of stars) with default.sex.telephoto_lens_vSTL
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.
