Will this file work on Stellarium?

The IAU MDC showers' list has been updated with some new entries :-

http://www.astro.amu.edu.pl/~jopek/MDC2007/Roje/roje_lista.php?corobic_roje=0&sort_roje=0

I've updated a file that displays these in the planetarium program Guide 8 
or 9 (other planetaria exist...), and it can be found as one of several TDFs 
here :-

http://wikisend.com/download/397990/newtdf.zip

Just extract IAUMETSHWR.tdf into your Guide directory and it should 
automatically display green symbols labelled with IAU mnemonic code and 
Solar Longitude in degrees, with right click and also more info giving 
whether shower estabilshed or working list, solar longitude again, ra and 
dec in degrees, iau mnemonic code and iau shower number, geocentric velocity 
and a linkout which when the user is also online will open the relevant 
summary page for that particular shower at the IAU webpages.

Cheers

John
