Hi all,
I am using Stellarium Version 0.10.2 and I have put together this comet file for myself for use with stellarium, I found it pretty easy to do to be honest, but i thought I could save you the effort this once.
I intend to use Stellarium to drive my 16inch Lightbridge via my Argo Navis,
I identified the comets of interest for the week with this web site;
http://www.aerith.net/comet/weekly/20100116s.html
The data comes from NASA JPL HORIZONS Web interface;
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi
The data is then processed by this website;
http://projects.familie-steinel.de/s...ium-comet-jpl/
Then this information is copy and pasted onto the end of this file after all the text;
ssystem.ini
Which for me is located here;
C:\Program Files\Stellarium\data
And the full instructions for this process can be found here;

I have also written a little script that will bring any RA and Dec coordinate to the center of the Stellarium screen if anyone is interested i will also post it
Cheers,
Trent
