Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 4521 P/Scotti (2015 Q1 = 2002 observations = 2021 P5)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 359 observations 2002 to 2021. Perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, were taken into account. The mean residual is +/- 0.70 arc second. Residuals of 2002 observations were +22" mainly for Right Ascension from a linked orbit in NK 4519 with the delta-T correction = -0.008 day. Thus comet has made three appearnces. The comet has passed 0.58 AU and 1.54 AU from Jupiter on 2005 Dec. 2 and 2017 Dec. 8 UT, respectively. See the previous orbits in NK 3042, NK 3149, NK 3984 and NK 4519.
