The Perihelium will be on 20 February according to Bradley, Short passes on detials of when it can be observed. Notes that in the model he correct angle with the plane of the eliptic is achieveed by wo angular pieces of paper glued, one to the plane of the eliptic and the other to the plane of the comet which must be set at right angles to the planes.
