Barry, my only real complaint about adding comets is that the MPC elements don't get magnitude estimates updated, so Stellarium doesn't either. The original mag=10 is still on C/2012 F6, rather than the current mag=5.6 that JPL is giving.

It is possible to update ssystem.ini from JPL elements, just a pain to have to write more Perl code.
