Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3696 C/2018 F1 (Grauer)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 164 observations 2017 Dec. 22 to 2018 July 16. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.56 arc second. The comet has passed 3.40 AU from Jupiter on 2018 May 15 UT. See the previous orbits in NK 3578 and NK 3609. Epoch = 2018 Dec. 28.0 TT T = 2018 Dec. 14.07598 +/- 0.00064 (m.e.)
