Asteroid Targeting

[CosmosGamer99]

So, I am trying to capture an asteroid for the first time and I cannot target it or even see the orbit path.  From what i have read I have to go to the Tracking Station and click on the object and then hit "Start Tracking" , or something.  However, no matter where I select it from, I see no options (other that "view in tracking station" while piloting). I can't see the orbit path or target it either.  What a I missing?

You heard correctly though your source may have forgotten to mention, "Start tracking" is one of the buttons in the lower left of the tracking station. It's only there when you've selected an object with a ? for the icon.

Fixed, an annoying, extra comma
