It's free and you can easily add the orbits of STEREO Behind as well as C/2012 V4 into the simulation and show how their positions relate to each other, the planets, and the stars.

Celestia has its limitations as well, but it's very good for identifying objects in STEREO images because you can view the constellations and solar system from any arbitrary location, direction, and field of view. I made a little video with it just now to show the true situation with this comet and the STEREO images. I'll post the link as soon as it's uploaded.
