Dear sirs.
I would like to have the following information for C/2012 S1 (ISON)
to have it include in Stellarium software.
Thanks.

Name Format Description
name string English name of body, case-sensitive
parent string English name of parent body (the body which this body orbits, e.g. in the case of our Moon, the parent body is Earth)
radius float Radius of body in kilometers
halo boolean If true, the body will have a halo displayed round it when it is bright enough
color r,g,b Colour of object (when rendered as a point). Each of r,g,b is a floating point number between 0 and 1.
tex_map string File name of a PNG or JPEG texture file to be applied to the object. Texture file is searched for in the .../textures directory
tex_halo string File name of a PNG or JPEG texture file to be used as the halo image if the halo option is set to true
tex_big_halo string File name of a PNG or JPEG texture file to be used as the “big halo” image
big_halo_size float The angular size of the big halo texture. Typical values range between 10 and 200.
coord_func string Select the method of calculating the orbit. Possible values are: ell_orbit, comet_orbit, <planet>_special (specific calculations for major bodies).
lighting boolean Turn on or off lighting effects
albedo float Specify the albedo of the body
rot_periode float Specify the rotational period of the body in hours
rot_obliquity float Angle between rotational axis and perpendicular to orbital plane in degrees
rot_equator_ascending_node float Rotational parameter
sidereal_period float Rotational period in days
orbit_Period float Time for one full orbit in days
orbit_SemiMajorAxis float Keplarian orbital element
orbit_Eccentricity float Keplarian orbital element
orbit_Inclination float Keplarian orbital element
orbit_AscendingNode float Keplarian orbital element
orbit_LongOfPericenter float Orbital element used in ell_orbit calculations
orbit_MeanLongitude float Orbital element used in ell_orbit calculations
ascending float Orbital element used in ell_orbit calculations
hidden boolean Display planet as seen from other bodies, or not
orbit_TimeAtPericenter float Object parameter used in comet_orbit calculations
orbit_PericenterDistance float Object parameter used in comet_orbit calculations
orbit_MeanAnomoly float Object parameter used in comet_orbit calculations
orbit_ArgOf Pericenter float Object parameter used in comet_orbit calculations
