    EURONEAR - Tools - Long Planning

Description: Generate a list for physical observations of NEAs (photometry or spectroscopy).
Input: Starting date, interval (days), observatory MPC code, limiting magnitude, proper motion, altitude, night visibility, database.
Using: Asteroid Lightcurve Database (LCDB) - rarely updated (actual version 1 Oct 2023),
Concatenated list of NEAs (Atens, Apollos and Amors) from MPC - daily updated (actual version 24 Apr 2025).
Observation: For any update needs of these DBs, please run the selectneanolc.php script.
Output: Table of visible objects passing the input conditions.
