Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 2973 C/2014 W6 (Catalina)
The following improved orbital elements, S. Nakano, are from 125 observations 2014 Nov. 20 to 2015 June 5. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.58 arc second. The comet has passed 2.60 AU from Jupiter on 2014 Aug. 24 UT. See the previous orbit in NK 2910. Epoch = 2015 Apr. 8.0 TT T = 2015 Mar. 19.01487 +/- 0.00162 (m.e.)
