Här är sidan där jag hämtar data om kometens bana och relativ rörelse.
http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi?s_type=1#top
Hastighetsvektorn får jag i bågsekunder/timme, får ev. räknas om till att passa det styrprogram man använder. Se data i de två sista kolumnerna och gäller för natten som kommer, 16:e december.
Någon kanske vet andra sidor där man kan hämta bandata?

Column meaning:
TIME
Prior to 1962, times are UT1. Dates thereafter are UTC. Any 'b' symbol in
the 1st-column denotes a B.C. date. First-column blank (" ") denotes an A.D.
date. Calendar dates prior to 1582-Oct-15 are in the Julian calendar system.
Later calendar dates are in the Gregorian system.
Time tags refer to the same instant throughout the universe, regardless of
where the observer is located.
The dynamical Coordinate Time scale is used internally. It is equivalent to
the current IAU definition of "TDB". Conversion between CT and the selected
non-uniform UT output scale has not been determined for UTC times after the
next July or January 1st. The last known leap-second is used over any future
interval.
NOTE: "n.a." in output means quantity "not available" at the print-time.
SOLAR PRESENCE (OBSERVING SITE)
Time tag is followed by a blank, then a solar-presence symbol:
'*' Daylight (refracted solar upper-limb on or above apparent horizon)
'C' Civil twilight/dawn
'N' Nautical twilight/dawn
'A' Astronomical twilight/dawn
' ' Night OR geocentric ephemeris
LUNAR PRESENCE (OBSERVING SITE)
The solar-presence symbol is immediately followed by a lunar-presence symbol:
'm' Refracted upper-limb of Moon on or above apparent horizon
' ' Refracted upper-limb of Moon below apparent horizon OR geocentric
ephemeris
R.A._(ICRF/J2000.0)_DEC =
J2000.0 astrometric right ascension and declination of target center.
Adjusted for light-time. Units: HMS (HH MM SS.ff) and DMS (DD MM SS.f)
dRA*cosD d(DEC)/dt =
The rate of change of target center apparent RA and DEC (airless).
d(RA)/dt is multiplied by the cosine of the declination.
Units: ARCSECONDS PER HOUR
