The parabolic orbit for C/2008 D3 satisfies 52 (10 from HI1-A, 12 from
COR2-A and 30 from COR2-B spanning Feb. 20.66-22.21 UT, during which time
the comet's heliocentric distance decreased from 0.154 to 0.032 AU) of the 97
observations shown with residuals no more than 15" in either coordinate. T
and q are good to the quoted precision, while the uncertainties in the
angular elements are substantially less than 0.1 deg. Elliptical orbit
computations give e = 0.9998 and 120 < P < 180 years, results that are likely
to be somewhat too small for a member of the Kreutz group. The STEREO-A and
STEREO-B spacecraft were respectively 0.38 and 0.41 AU from the earth, the
line between them subtending an angle of 155 deg at the earth.
