It is a good question since I was not clear. In the string of numbers for each comet the next to last is it absolute magnitude. The last one is the slope, I think. Anyway change it to -4.5 or something close to that. The entry for 17P would look like: 0017P 2007 05 4.5276 2.053218 0.432564 24.2712 326.8646 19.1126 20071027 -4.5 6.0 17P/Holmes After adjusting the Magnitude. Sorry for being in a hurry this last morning and not being clear. Bob
