This is a fascinating multi-fragment comet that is continuing to track well.
The brightest fragment, C, could still reach between 3rd and 4th magnitude. Fragment B stands a good chance of reaching 6th magnitude. Under a very dark sky, and with good eyesight, that would mean two naked-eye comets visible at the same time (albeit one marginally). Not quite the same as 2004's Double Comet show, but something most unusual nevertheless.
