103P Hartley-2 elements for CdC

It seems we will have a nice comet display next month (103P Hartley, end of October, morning hours) .
For CdC users, it might be worth to mention that for some reason this comet is not on the current list..
To add it, open the file "C:\Program Files\ciel\cat\planet\cometes.dat" and with text editor (wordpad for example) add the following line anywhere in the file:

103P/Hartley-2 |2010|20101028.2670 | 1.058693 |0.695125 |181.2025 |219.7600 | 13.6184 |16.8 |0.15 | MPC 70362

Unfortunately, the Moon will be passing close by...

Also, this article related to Hartley comet may be of some interest:
