Go to the FOV panel and enter an R.A. and Dec near the location of the UNID. 3. Select the reference stars and complete the reduction in the usual manner. 4. Enter dummy values of international designation and catalogue number in the usual boxes, e.g. 99999A and 99999. If you have more than one UNID, then make certain to given them distinct designations and numbers. 5. Save the result. Before step 5, you may wish to copy the displayed IOD string to your clipboard, and enter it into IDSat, FindSat or similar program, to try to identify the object. Most will be identifiable. If successful, you can either enter the correct designation and catalogue number into ObsReduce and save the result, or discard it if you consider it not worth reporting. One way to make it worth reporting would be to estimate its visual magnitude along with any other notable optical characteristics that are reportable via IOD. If not identifiable, then definitely report it, including optical characteristics, if possible.
