Stellarium

MPC's list of observable comets does not load when I try to load it in solar system editor.

Asked by Bill Jones

When I follow the instructions for adding comets to Stellarium and I choose MPC's list of observable comets, the list never loads. I've tried it on 3 different computers and it would not work on any of them. 2 of the computers had previously been able to load comets from the MPC list.

MPC changed the URL for orbit elements of the comets. Just update it in the plugin.

Where do I find the new URL and how do I update the plugin with it?

New URL you can find on Minor Planet Center website.

On second part of question... Are you seen a Solar System Editor plugin - http://astro.altspu.ru/~aw/stellarium/stellarium-sse.jpg ?
