> Changed CometsComponent::loadData() to load M1, M2, K1, K2 parameters as well. Also if M1, M2, K1, K2 data are not available set abnormal values as default.
> Changed KSComet.h and KSComet.cpp to accept M1, M2, K1, K2 parameters as well. Also modified KSComet::findMagnitude() to use the above formula.
> Changed setMag() function in SkyObject.h so that for any magnitudes >=30 abnormally high value(99) is set.
