Cool! I just saw the news on the ABC website:

Quote:
Some reports have suggested the comet could be as bright as magnitude -11 or even -16, making it more than 1000 times brighter than the planet Venus and almost as bright as a full Moon.
"It's an unknown," says Hartley. "It could be a dazzler or a complete washout, that's the problem with comets like this one."
I will be well chuffed if it got anywhere as bright as this, the weather will be perfect here in November (dry season).
