Nice one Rob! Good stuff!!!!!!!

I have been making a little calendar for W1, closest approach to Earth is on 13th June @ 0.21 AU, and comes to Perihelion on the 23rd of June @ 0.85 AU. The good news is, we should see this comet in the early morning throughout its perihelion passage!!! The bad news is, the moonlight will stuff it up!!!! I made it out last night visually @ mag 4.6. So it's still brightening! (no tail observed)
