New bright comet?

Just got this through Yahoo groups.....

http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephem...ts/2007N3.html

According to the fellow that sent this in it may reach Mag 6...
Can anyone have a look at the ephemeris to determine wether it will be visible to us??
Im at work and my laptop is at home....

Just plugged it into CdC.

It will apparently be just rising in the East at 10pm in Feb 2009.
