Updating comet list in newest version of CDC?

[Leveye]

 Trying to update and get Comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy into the list of slewable objects and for it to appear on the screen. I'm using version 3.10 of CDC and windows 7 pro. Any tips for the procedure? Can it be done?

I have 3.10 on Linux but would imagine it's the same (works on my Win 8.1 laptop)

Go to Setup>Solar System and the select the Comet tab. Make sure "Show comets on the chart" is checked.

Select "Load MPC File" tab and click "Download" and "Download" again on the pop up. Then just click ok.

You should then be able to see Lovejoy close to the Pleiades.

Worked like a charm. Thank you so very much!
