This comet still looks interesting, it's currently brighter than expected and could reach mag +3.0 in June, more optimistic sites are going for mag +2.0  Smiley
Wow, that's very opitimistic.
Quote from: Alan Hale
A peak brightness between 3rd and 5th magnitude (more likely toward the fainter end of that range) can perhaps be expected.
