C/1990 M1 McNaught-Hughes
more info
In IAU Circ. No 5036, Robert H. McNaught reported his discovery of a comet on a U.K. Schmidt Telescope R plate taken by Shaun M. Hughes on 19 June at Siding Spring.At the moment of discovery, this comet was about 8.5 months before its perihelion passage.This comet was last observed in mid-June 1991.
Comet had its closest approach to the Earth on 13 April 1991 (1.853 au), about 1.5 month after perihelion passage.
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 0.986 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 3.72 au – 2.68 au (perihelion) – 2.90 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; however, these perturbations lead to escape the comet on hyperbolic orbit from the planetary zone.
