Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3073 C/2014 R3 (PANSTARRS)
The following improved orbital elements, S. Nakano, are from 95 observations 2014 Sept. 6 to 2016 Feb. 18. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.34 arc second. The comet has passed 3.32 AU from Uranus on 2005 Sept. 29 UT. See the previous orbits in NK 2907 and NK 2971 (= HICQ 2015). Epoch = 2016 July 31.0 TT T = 2016 Aug. 7.90759 +/- 0.01147 (m.e.)
