Hello Dave,

download this file and copy it into your guide main folder:

It includes fragments A-F. In Guide goto |Extras|Asteroid/Comet options|Add MPC
comets/asteroids|
Click on "Add MPC asteroids/comets" and choose the file you downloaded. Set the
mag limit for comets at least to 23 and all 6 fragments plus the "original"
P/2010V1 (without a fragment character) are displayed.
