Once you have Stellarium 0.10.6:
<F2>
Plugins
Solar System Editor - if "Load at startup" is NOT ticked, tick it, go back to "Main", click "Save settings", exit Stellarium, restart and come back to Solar System Editor.
click "configure"
"Solar System"
If C/2009 P1 is not in the list of objects:
"Import orbital ..."
"Comets" radio button
"Download ..." radio button
"Select bookmark" - by default there is only one to choose
"Get ..."
"Update ..."
"Only orbital ..." - I tick this.
"Mark all" or just the ones that interest you. C/2009 P1 should be in the list.
"Add objects"
Close all the config windows and you are done. You can select it as the target with <F3> and typing the name.
If it wasn't in the list, you could click the "Online search" tab, type the name in upper case - lower does not work, it has to match MPC's database - and click the magnifying glass.

OK, Done this. When I go to F2/Plugins I have a list which says
Angle Measure
Compass Marks
satellites
Solar System Editor
Telescope Control
Text User Interface
Time Zone
For Solar System Editor it says Contact
http://stellarium.org
I can't find a contact email there and the forum doesn't seem to have anything. Can anyone help, please?
