Comet 73P 2006 elements

Michael Mattiazzo May 2, 2005

Hello all,

You should ignore the elements for 73P that Guide currently displays in
2006.
The 3 fragments will be separated by about 40 degrees of sky!
I've uploaded 73P elements to the files section.
Just add the file the usual way with add MPC elements.

I've taken the predicted magnitudes from Seichi Yoshida's website:
Very interesting peak brightness of component C!

and orbital elements from Nakano's website (NK 934):
