Never mind.It looks like it is an issue with the update time on spansh being changed when the meanAnomaly is not sent by some clients so I don't have a reliable epoch. This is why my code is only accurate 50% of the time!
Stellar Body Collisions
- Thread starter LCU No Fool Like One
- Start date
Seeing as at present the data held on spansh is not reliable I'd like to be able to capture the body scan events. If you are up to it could you submit them to this google form.
forms.gle
I appreciate that this is a big ask. I hope to add some automation into the Canonn plugin but at present it will need to be manual and not all of you will be using EDMC in any case
Collision Scans
Please supply us with your journal entries for colliders. We need scan or autoscan events for bodies that are going to collide.

I mentioned to you before that Colliders plugin purpose was to collect data for predictions - I assume it's been collecting data, but I haven't actually checked
(yet). If I get a moment tomorrow, I'll see what it's gathered and send you anything that might be useful. Assuming Colliders has been doing it's job, it'll save anyone using it the effort of manual data entry.Also hoping to get new Colliders out tomorrow - accuracy isn't improved, but calculation effficiency is hugely improved.
Came across these two a couple nights ago...
Looks like they're tidal locked together... but daaaaamn, one of thems GOT to over take the other in a few million years...
I've never seen two tidal locked sooo close together like these two are.
They're both landable too.

Sorry to disappoint but if the orbital periods are identical then the bodies will never collide. They have a very fast orbital period so its a nice find.

That data would be gratefully recieved. I have a bunch of data then needs to be re-checekd now. But at least I know the math's is sound.
The KOI 232 collision was witnessed for the very first time today and the bodies met exactly on the time predicted by my code and the collision plugin for Elite Observatory as far as I can tell to the nearest second or two.
These bodies will collide every 29 days and it will be a 100% overlap every time lasting 1 hour 8 minutes and 8 seconds.
Very pleased with the result,.

KOI 413 (Rhubarb and Custard) are due to collide today between 15:39 and 17:26 UTC
Collsion for this September.
Two Icy Bodies
One landable no atmosphere
The other not landable with nitrogen atmos
Col 359 Sector EJ-W b45-3 4 a Col 359 Sector EJ-W b45-3 4 b 213.907 Collision at 03-Sep-2022 06:54 UTC (2h 46m) Collision at 05-Apr-2023 08:39 UTC (1h 22m)
My calculations suggest 2022-09-03 05:53:37
Future collsions here. Nothing next year. https://canonn-science.github.io/canonn-calendar/year?system=Col 359 Sector EJ-W b45-3

Did you manage to nail down accuracy in predictions any further? I know I still have something not quite right in Colliders, was wondering if you've now managed to get them perfected yet ? Hopefully get a bit of time before ATEG expedition to work on it again.
I'll share some code with you in a DM
If anyone is in the bubble and has Elite Observatory with the collisions plugin.
Reienadi 8b and 8c are due to have a collision on the 31st August from 21:08pm UTC according to my calculations. Just need a second opinion.

It happened exactly on time. 21:08 UTC I am very happy with that result
Made it there just on time. Amazing experience. A lot of cool Cmdrs and not a single ganker in Open!
Nice
I got to see the approach at maybe 20.30 UTC but then I was called away and missed the rest.
Now to work out where Colliders plugin is getting it's extra hour from. It should all be UTC but clearly I've missed something
