new locations from 27-09-2022 to 13-02-2023
are concerned: Mercury, Mars, Moon, and Dimorphos asteroid

In the file, the types used are the standard types of Celestia (otherwise those of Celestia 1.7).
In Celestia 1.6 not all of them exist and are to be considered as 'XX'
With LUT5, Croc and I 'cheated' by using types not present for each spacebody for others that don't exist in Celestia 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2. Thus "SI" in LUT5 became for 'Moon' the type "TE". If you are using LUT5 with the 'renderLocsBox.lua' module, you need to change to Location "Viscositatis Sinus" "Sol/Earth/Moon" type "SI" by "TE"



Added after 1 hour 35 minutes:
Warning!

it is necessary to modify in the proposed file (new locations on Gazetter 27-09-2022 to 13-02-2023.ssc), the parent of Dimorphos:
"Sol/65803 Didymos/Dimorphos" for the 5 locations
