It's always a pleasure to see a new comet discovery officially announced in the morning e-mail inbox.
The orbit for this comet has been calculated, thus far, only on the arc of positions measured over a period less than 30 hours.
If the true orbit stayed as currently published, the comet might be a nice binocular sight in Spring - a little brighter than the ephemeris perhaps - and visible during the September and October new moon weekends.
Let's see, though, what happens over the next few days and weeks as the orbit is better refined.
Regards,
Greg
