Not bad, many thanks for the lot...I suppose that the orbital elements are either known with substantial uncertainties or partly not known at all?
The 62 known moons show a somewhat similar motion profile as the twenty new ones.

Right. I am just a bit worried that with so many objects the performance will be significantly slowed down with spice...? What do you think?

Cheers,

time consuming for sure , but if i do not add "before & after" SPICE orbits it is a easy copy / paste and minor edit for each one .
