Add a comet to Stellarium
Can you add Comet 21/Borisov to Stellarium? And if so how do you do it? I see it's in the list of observable comets

Re: Add a comet to Stellarium
Easy enough to add a comet, but I see no way of adding 2I/Borisov. The plugin is not finding the ephemeris data from the Minor Planet Center.
I can get Stellarium to pull information on asteroid Borisov, but not the comet.
Maybe [mention]alexwolf[/mention] can help with this?

Re: Add a comet to Stellarium
Borisov has discovered a few comets. I do see the others listed, but not our particular interstellar interloper. I also see asteroid Borisov.
I do see Yo Mama (1I/Oumuamua) in there. No 2I/Borisov or C/2019 Q4 Borisov though.

Looks like C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) is included by default on the newest version of Stellarium v0.19.2.
