Hi All,
Another set of elements incorporating observations up 'till up to 1 July has seen the date of perihelion jump around again (backward by 2-odd weeks) -- now on 8 March 2013 as opposed to the 25th March. Also the orbital inclination has changed a bit (10-odd degrees) from the last set
Expect further change ...

At least this set sees the comet at its best in the evening in a dark of the Moon. But there will probably be further alteration as time goes on so ...
Best,
