Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 5480 C/2025 N2 (ATLAS)
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 53 observations 2023 July 13 to 2025 Sept. 17. 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. See an orbit in CBET 5580 (= NK 5420).
