I've noticed that many planetarium programs are having trouble with accurately predicting it. Most of them are not taking earths gravitational influence into account. As a note, anyone using Sky Safari plus or pro--update to the latest on all platforms. They put in an orbital integrator that does correctly compute the trajectory. I'm not sure what other programs work, I was getting the data from one of JPLs web page and just plugging that in when I wanted to see where it was, and figured that was good enough.
