Comets and minor planets move against the background sky. Astro Corner therefore keeps their orbital catalogue record separately and does not pretend a single RA/Dec is permanently correct.

Planning coordinates are intentionally separate.A later Horizons ephemeris layer can calculate the object's apparent position for a specific date, time and observing location. Until then, static-sky tools are hidden for this record rather than showing misleading coordinates.
