I've found accidentally suspiciously looking group of comets. They lie almost 
on straight line. Too straight IMO. These comets are located near β Tau. 
Are they real or some strange artefact?

Also I've noted that if absolute magnitude of comet or slope parameter are not 
set than they set to -101[1] which lead to strange results. I was quite 
surprised by magnitude like -200m.
