 Why can't I retrieve a list of observable comets in TheSky?
Answer

There is a bug in TheSky that will shutdown the program when you go to the main menu and select DATA - COMETS AND MINOR PLANETS - COMETS TAB - OBSERVABLE. You will see a message "Executable file for TheSky.encountered a problem and needs to close". TheSky will then shut down.

As a workaround, download the comet data manually from the Center for Astrophysics website and then import the specific comet that you want from the file.
