Hi all,

C/2010 X1 Elenin has had it's orbit adjusted, it should reach mag 4 next year providing the prediction stay sound.
Perihelion is in September, and because of it's low solar elongation it will favour northern hemisphere observers, we will see it as a morning object in the dawn twilight then the Moon will interfere. The comet will follow the ecliptic, and it will cross the border from Virgo to Leo.

The geometry is good with the comet passing between Earth and the Sun, a perihelion distance of 0.4 AU.

The comet was discovered by Leonid Elenin, an amateur astronomer in Russia last week which was announced on the 14th December.

I will post more details shortly!
