It's going to be well worth considering good responses to claims of the comet becoming brighter than the Full Moon. Have already seen a number of mentions of this on the Internet - somebody, somewhere has suggested it might make mag -16, which is ludicrous. But lots of people are now taking it as a proper prediction. With a more realistic forecast maybe being McNaught scale and if we're lucky a bit brighter, it would be good to get people to keep a sense of perspective! Otherwise there'll be a lot of disappointed people out there who won't trust astronomers so much. But the media do so love a dramatic 'story'...
