Hy.
Original comet name contains forward slash "/", wich is causing problems, because in Celestia this character is used as separator for Star/Planet system. Since this char is already present in name so comets can't have their own satellites. But wait, there's more, when you press "ENTER" and enter few letters you can circle through names by pressing "TAB". But not when "/" is present, if so, instead of name like C/1996 B2 Hyakutake , you'll get C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/C/1996 B2 Hyakutake . Problem is that every time you press "TAB" there will be one more "C/" .

Celestia 1.3.2pre4 (file name is pre5 ???)

Any suggestions?

Omit the slash.

Hm, as simple as that?

No reason why not - we're already doing that with all the numbered satellites - their full names are something like "S/2003 J23" ("S/" for "satellite"), but using just plain "2003 J23" is still a unique identifier. Likewise "1996 B2 Hyakutake". All you need to do is edit the ssc file.
