C/1885 X1 Fabry
more info
C/1885 X1 was discovered on 1 December 1885 by Louis Fabry (Paris, France), about 5 months before its perihelion passage, and the comet was last seen on 30 July 1886 [Kronk, Cometography: Volume 2].
This comet made its closest approach to the Earth on 1 May 1886 (0.198 au), that is less than two weeks before perihelion passage.
Solutions given here are based on data spanning over 0.630 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 2.29 au through perihelion (0.642 au) to 2.00 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; these perturbations lead to escape the comet from the planetary zone on a hyperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbits).
C/1885 X1 was in the original sample of 19 comets used by Oort for his hypothesis on LPCs; however, according to presented here statistics for previous perihelion passage this comet most probably is dynamically old.
