Nakano Note (Nakano wa Kangaeru noda) NK 5630 320P/McNaught
The following improved orbital elements, by S. Nakano, are from 127 observations 2004 to 2026, including planetary perturbations by Mercury to Neptune and three minor planets, Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, and non-gravitational effect of style II. The mean residual is +/- 0.69 arc second. Residuals for 2026 August observations were +34" for Right Ascension and -5" for Declination from the prediction in NK 3656 (= HICQ 2026) with the delta-T correction = -0.031 day. Comet has been observed in 2021 return. But any observation were not found. See the previous orbits in NK 1143, NK 2891 and NK 3656. Epoch = 2026 June 9.0 TT T = 2026 June 27.78765 +/- 0.00051 (m.e.)
