Yep, it's confirmed. There is now
orbital elements on the MPEC from 36 observations. I've attached a high resolution map showing stars to magnitude 9.5 and a 10x 50 binocular circle for the bnext few days. The comet starts out around 2 deg from alpah indus, and comes close to it over the next 4 days. A peak magnitude of 7 is still predicted, but uncertanty is still high.
Cheres! Ian
