NOTE: If viewing this file and it appears confused, make the window very wide!

   The numbers are all in the proper format for easy use in Starry Night's
orbit editor. Just click on the word Sun in the planet floater and then
click on add. In the first window that appears select the comet as the type
of object you want to add. Please see the manual for more information.

   The orbital information should have the reference plane set at Ecliptic
 2000 and the Style should be pericentric. Don't forget to use copy and
 paste to ease the input of the orbital data into Starry Night.
