[Chaos-l] Comet 103P/Hartley 2

[Robert Nielsen]

  Tony (or someone else),

I'm confused.   According to the chart and text in the Sky and Telescope 
article, Comet 103P/Hartley 2 should be right next to Alpha Cassiopeiae 
on October 1st.  But both of my planetarium programs show it way down in 
Auriga on that night.

Which is it?  Am I looking at erroneous data ... or the wrong comet?
