This app is perfect, -exactly- what i searched for, thank you! :)

I would give it 10 stars if possible, this app works perfectly like a charm, it can even process extremely large lists of asteroids (eg. if you combine min.size with max.distance and max.timespan). And everything for free! Thank you very much to the very generous developer(s). A big thumbs up from me.
