leon it would be an amazing comet that had a significant tail to our eyes when it is 2.5 au from the sun!!!! its the proximity to the sun that gives you the better tails - think of mcnaught
also it is 1.6 au or roughly around 230 million klms distant from us, so a tail isnt gonna poke ya in the eye from there
