Bug Description
Stellarium 0.12.4 says that comet C/1680 V1 is still within 0.01 AU of the Sun, even though it reached its perihelion over 3 centuries ago.
REPRODUCTION SCENARIO:
Add the following section to ssystem.ini:
[C1680V1]
absolute_
albedo=1
color=1.0,1.0,1.0
coord_func=
lighting=false
name=C/1680 V1
orbit_ArgOfPeri
orbit_Ascending
orbit_Eccentric
orbit_Pericente
orbit_TimeAtPer
parent=Sun
radius=40
slope_parameter=0
tex_map=nomap.png
type=comet
Then start Stellarium and check the position of that comet. It is reported to be still very close to the Sun today.
