Maik is entirely correct here. Producing orbits for SOHO (STEREO, PSP...) comets is easy. Producing orbits that are realistic is absolutely NOT easy. Anyone can test this by placing short-arc SOHO kreutz astrometry into find_orb without constraints, and letting it produce a solution. This result will be very non-Kreutz. This is the problem the MPC have/had, and this is a process Bill and I have been iterating on for some time. It's something we will be revisiting early this year. The bottom line is that I will make sure - without doubt - that all SOHO (STEREO, etc) comets get cataloged and designated, and the citizen scientist who found them credited appropriately.

Best wishes,
