Trying to enter new asteroid

Asked by Pabl Olivares on 2012-10-22

I'm trying to enter asteroid C/2012 S1 (ISON) in the ssystem.ini but don't work. I got this data from JPL
[C/2012 S1 (ISON)]
name = C/2012 S1 (ISON)
parent = Sun
orbit_Inclination = 61.74759192705424halo = truecolor = 1.0,1.0,1.0lighting = truetex_halo = star16x16.png
coord_func = comet_orbit
orbit_Eccentricity = 1.000001241514879
orbit_ArgOfPericenter = 345.4965784475032
orbit_Epoch = 2456194.5
absolute_magnitude = 6.0
slope_parameter = 0.15
lighting = false
tex_map = nomap.png
color = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
orbit_AscendingNode = 295.7578448073905

orbit_MeanAnomaly = 359.9995808982474

orbit_SemiMajorAxis = -10088.29719798449
albedo = 0.113
radius = 470
type = asteroid

Can you help me. Thanks
