Forgive my ignorance but I presume that some of the below data replaces the earlier posted script for Stellarium .ini file above. ( still learning this stuff ). If that is the case I figured where the last three lines go but T & q I can't see where they would fit. ( I just wanna track and see this comet !!
)

In the southern hemisphere the comet is best seen before and at perihelion (mid-September), with post perihelion being better seen from the northern hemisphere when the comet makes a relatively close passage to earth in mid-October.
Based on current CCD magnitudes the comet appears intrinsically faint so there some question as to whether it will become bright. But we wont know until it is a lot closer to the sun.
