While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hey,

I just read about this comet... sounds interesting. Visible magnitudes in
July?

So I tried to enter it into the ETX comets database and I can't get it to
agree with the prediction in ECU using the same orbital elements. But then
every time I tried to enter an eccentricity of 1.00000 in the ETX it beeped
and said "Invalid number", so I ended up using 0.00000 since it would
accept that. ??

Anyone got the orbital elements for this comet? In ECU and ETX format?
The Meade site wants to send me to a site at Harvard and it isn't
responding right now.
