Bug Description

Original by Anonymous from: https://sourceforge.net/p/stellarium/discussion/278769/thread/e33f3741/

Choosing ortographic projection while a comet is visible a ghost of that comet will appear in the opposite direction in the sky. As you look around the comet moves aswell. The comet is unselectable.

the problem is that a comet is rendered as a 3d object without backface culling. A way out could be manually inverting all faces towards the viewer into a new index array before calling drawFromArrays() with backface culling activated. may be quite slow though.
