Looking at the sensor contact information from a city report, I am not sure how I can use it to locate the asteroid.
First it says "south east (128°)", that is simple enough to locate with the helm's compass.
The "azimuth -26°" on the other hand I don't quite understand. I googled what "azimuth" means, and from what I understand it is the same as the first degrees.

What I am missing is the "altitude". So I am not sure if maybe "azimuth" was meant to be "altitude" or not.
On the other hand, it is not possible to change the helm compass of a space fighter to be relative to the solar system plane.
PS: Did the distance of an AU change with the new universe?
Update: My city suddenly stopped detecting the asteroid, so I don't know what happened. I can't stay awake another hour to find out if it is really coming or not. Cities have been having a really weird time detecting asteroids since universe reset, observatories don't seem to detect the upcoming asteroids at all.
Code:
Hazardous asteroid observed! Orbit collides with <my world> <time and date> GMT. 6,096.0m diameter. 998.8m/s velocity. Spotted SE at 128°, azimuth -26°, 18,929,783m away relative to the solar system plane of ecliptic.First it says "south east (128°)", that is simple enough to locate with the helm's compass.
