/* From an e-mail from Alan Harris:

   "...the formula for encounter velocity (in FORTRAN), for a circular planet
orbit is:

DV=30.*SQRT(3.-A0/A-2.*SQRT(A*(1.-E**2)/A0)*COS(XI/57.2958))

Where A0 is the planet orbit SMA (1.0 for Earth), and A, E, XI are (a,e,i)
of the crossing body.  If DV is less than about 2.5 [km/s], the crossing body
can't make it to/from Mars or Venus no matter what direction it is going,
at greater than 2.5, it can.  That sort of provides the cutoff for natural
bodies crossing the Earth orbit.  There are a few exceptions, but they are
probably moon ejecta or old rocket cans." (Note: 57.2958 = 180/pi = degrees
per radian conversion,  not needed in C.)

   I've seen some inaccuracies in this formula,  though,  which I _think_
reflect the fact that it assumes the earth's orbit is circular.  Alan
points out that this really should only apply to crossing orbits (which,
with earth's orbit considered circular,  means q < 1 < Q.)  If the MOID
is non-zero,  it's hard to say exactly what the "encounter velocity" means.

   Note furthermore that the above can be reduced to

dv = v0 * sqrt(3. - tisserand)

   where v0 = orbital speed for the earth (roughly 30 km/s) and 'tisserand'
is the usual Tisserand criterion.           */

   ....wherein Q, a, P, n, U, and M are omitted as no longer meaningful,
but we show z=1/a,  which is sometimes helpful with near-parabolic cases.
Actually,  we should always show z if the uncertainty in a is comparable
to a itself,  for all types of orbits.

   We basically retain the first three lines of the existing format,
except that the second line needs a little revision to contain the
periapsis uncertainty.  And we retain the "from x to y" line.

   We should also "prune" quantities so the number of digits in the sigma
matches the number of digits in the quantity itself.

   The program is theoretically capable of computing MOIDs relative to
N_MOIDS objects (currently 14:  eight planets,  six asteroids). However,
N_MOIDS_TO_SHOW = 8 at present (we only show planetary MOIDs.) */

/* The following function,  as the comment indicates,  assumes that
a "no band" case (obs->mag_band == ' ') must be an R mag.  That's
probably the best guess for most modern CCD observations.  MPC
assumes a B (photographic) magnitude,  which is probably the best
guess for older observations.  I suppose one would ideally look at
the second 'note'  which is C for CCD observations and P for
photographic observations.  The code could then assume a default of
R for CCD obs,  B for photographic,  and V for the admittedly rare
micrometer or encoder-based observations.

It may be more accurate to infer a mag_band code based on the catalog
being used:  'r' for any of the UCACs,  'G' for Gaia,  'V' for GSC-1.x
for declinations north of +3 and 'R' south of that,  etc.  The idea
is that if you used UCAC magnitudes for calibration,  you're reporting
an 'r' magnitude,  no matter what filter you had.  Problems are cases
where the photometry was done with a different catalog than the astrometry;
or the catalog had multiple magnitude bands (Ax.0,  B1.0);  or tricky
things were done to "adjust" the magnitudes to a different band,  using
either 2MASS colors to estimate a color correction or just ass uming
an average color correction.

'C' ('clear',  'unfiltered') magnitudes are something of a problem.
They never really should have existed.  As described above,  the key
thing isn't what filter you use (though that's a nice thing to
know);  it's what sort of reference photometry you used.  At
present,   I'm treating 'C' magnitudes as close enough to 'R' or
'blank'.  (I perhaps should treat them as 'probably wrong' and give
them minimal or no weight in the computation of H values.)

Estimates for the mag band shifts in R, B, I, and U are from a post by

/* The following functions are used to "color" observations in the
console versions of Find_Orb.  The idea resembles that of the
four-color map problem,  except in this case, we'd like to show
observations in max_n_colors,  such that adjacent observations from
different MPC codes show up in different colors. You can't always do
this.  For example,  with observations from eight observatories,
mixed up so that each "pair" occurs,  you'd obviously need eight
different colors.  This code just tries a lot of possible colorings
and returns the one resulting in the fewest mismatches.

   To do this,  it uses an "annealing" sort of algorithm:  it first
sets the color for each MPC observatory at random (a value from zero
to max_n_colors - 1).  It then uses the improve_mpc_colors() to get
a better solution;  that function can make "obvious" improvements,
such as "if we change this MPC code to red,  there will be fewer
mismatches".  If the result has no mismatches,  we're home free and
stop looking for a "better" solution.  Otherwise,  we set a new set
of random colors and try to improve that... and repeat the procedure
for up to two seconds;  it's probably not worth spending much more time
on it than that.

   There are other ways to do this,  of course,  including a formal
pruned tree search among all possible color combinations.  But this
appears to work quite well,  and I thought it would result in simpler
code.  (I'm no longer so sure of that.  But I don't think I'll spend
the time to write a tree search version.)
