Stellarium vs theskylive.com for comet position

I'm hoping to catch an image of 21P/Giacobini-Zinner before it fades too much more (assuming the skies clear at some stage). Stellarium reports the current position at 7h09min27.26s and -17d32m3.5s (J2000) but theskylive.com says 7h16m8s and -17d24m10s. Unfortunately with my OTA and camera these positions are not in the same FOV.


Does anyone know which one is accurate?


Thanks, Kevin
