  Are you referring to  -Search - Brightest Comets?

  What is the date of the - Settings - Solar System - Minor Body Orbit Data?

  I'm at 7.1.7(1071) and comets are all good.

  Bruce,

   

  That was it!

  When I went to settings—Solar System—on the very bottom after scrolling down to it: Update Minor Body Data.  It showed the last update was January 19,2023.

  I pushed update and it loaded today’s dated data.  When I went back to Search—Brightest Comets, it was there.

  This morning the comet was showing up correctly.

  I then updated 8 apps, one being SkySafariPro

  I then updated my iPad IOS from 16.2 to 16.3

  I then did a backup.

  Later today I opened SkySafari, opened Search—Brightest Comets and they all showed as best as I could tell except for c/2022 e3.

  Anyway, that did the trick.

  Thank you, and for the quick response.
