Could someone tell me what the parameters of the following are, or at least how to find the information on them?
AscendingNode
ArgOfPericenter

I'm trying to put together the Eta Cassiopeiae STC right now, but these three items are holding me back. I found out WHAT they were, via Selden's Resources, but I don't know how to determine them for a given star....

Actually, I discovered that I could find the parameters from the Near Stars ssc file for the companions, and that if I used the parameters given in Selden's Alpha Centauri example (I think it was Selden; or was it the Evil Doc?), I get what I want. Probably not too accurate, but for now it serves!
