The CBAT/MPC/ICQ web site for observable comet is
http://cfa-www.harvarddot edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/index.html
where you can find many useful links including the update MPEC (which is
free on web now after 1997 IAU General Assembly) for observable comets
in the current month. You can also get ephemeris and orbital elements
(even in format for some softwares which you are using!).
The newest information for comet discovery is in IAUC, which is also
available freely on net. But distribution of MPEC and IAUC as a mailing
list is not free, except that if you subscribe to Computer Service of
MPC. I subscribe to IAUC/MPEC and MPC-CS after 1996.
