Keep in mind that's around close approach to Earth. The comet will be almost close enough to throw a stone at (0.05?au) and moving about 3 degrees per day I think so it will move through the star charts pretty quick at close approach. That should also make it a good binocular comet.

I have a street light and road in that direction about 100m away. I wish my Lilly Pilly hedge would grow faster to block the lights!
