Resumen:
Orbits are calculated for Comet C/1845 L1 (the Great June Comet) and C/1846 D1 (de Vico), the former based on 157
observations in right ascension and 152 in declination and the latter on 10 and 9, respectively. Both orbits are hyperbolic
and statistically distinguishable from parabolas. Statistical tests indicate that the residuals are random and thus the orbits
satisfactory. The Great June Comet is in no way associated with the comet Tycho Brahe observed in 1596.
