Just got this through Yahoo groups.....

http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/2007N3.html

According to the fellow that sent this in it may reach Mag 6...
Can anyone have a look at the ephemeris to determine wether it will be visible to us??
Im at work and my laptop is at home....:sadeyes:

Just plugged it into CdC.

It will apparently be just rising in the East at 10pm in Feb 2009.

Thanks Middy & Iceman!
It is a long way off.....i guess a more refined calculation may determine wether or not its gonna live up to expectations......fingers crossed!
