thanks! a friend of mine asked me today “Hey, WHERE is that green comet they are talking about…???” – I fired up Stellarium – errr… – nothing.
Your post helped me out.
BTW – you say a vanilla install does not have any comets in it – is there any add-on catalogue that would add the usual known suspects to Stellarium?

Thanks a lot! I had to pour over pages and pages of bad explanations of where exactly to find Lulin. I did finally find it, the hard way with non-interactive charts, but after installing Stellarium, your input here helped confirm what I thought I had figured out. Plus…what a cool program! I will love using that in the future.
