The way that Celestia renders orbits is . . . well . . stupid. It works fine for most orbits, but not for comet orbits. It's also incredibly inefficient, particularly for the orbit of Earth which is modeled with about 400 periodic terms. I'm fixing it right now, as well as adding the capability to render satellite orbits.
