  The object Info on comets shows:

  Motion in:

  R.A (sec/day)

  Dec (arcsec/day)

  Total (arches/day

  Azimuth (arcsrc/sec)

  Altitude (arches/sec)

  Radial velocity (km/sec)

  Is that was you are asking for?

  We need the same to Hubble expansion velocity in km/seg. To compare them with the speed of expansion

  The speed of expansion depends upon how far apart two galaxies are.    The Hubble constant is around 72 (km/sec)/Mpc so two points separated by 1 megaparsec (3.09×10¹⁹ km) would be flying apart at around 72 km/sec.  This is roughly equivalent to the speeds of comets through space (10-80 km/sec).

  But this really seems to be comparing apples to oranges.  I don't understand why you'd want to compare these.  In any case, SkySafari does not directly report the speed of comets relative to (say) the Sun.

  Hi Bill
  If I move faster than a bullet this will not fall to me. Likewise no star can travel above the Hubble constant. This ensures that there are no collisions in space. If no one flies above that is our guarantee and it is the first thing that we should determine in comets.
  I know Halley is 55 km/seg lower than Hubble constant.  Thanks for your ask If we can do this please show me or give me this velocitys
  God bless you
