Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 3302 C/2014 M1 (PANSTARRS)
The following improved orbital elements, T. Kobayashi, are from 81 observations 2014 June 24 to 2016 June 29. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.45 arc second. The comet has passed 4.44 AU from Saturn on 2015 Dec. 25 and will pass 1.96 AU from Jupiter on 2017 Apr. 24 UT. See the previous orbits in NK 2965 and NK 3127 (= HICQ 2016).
