Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3753 C/2017 F2 (PANSTARRS)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 56 observations 2017 Mar. 31 to 2018 June 7. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.46 arc second. See the previous orbit in NK 3455 (= HICQ 2018) and NK 3588. Epoch = 2017 Nov. 23.0 TT T = 2017 Nov. 26.35397 +/- 0.01126 (m.e.)
