Good news. This comet has been observed in 60mm binoculars at mag 7.2. It is much brighter than predicted and will now reach mag 5 at Perihelion. Its is currently in the southern hemisphere but will be visible to from the north in early March perhaps at mag 5.5!!! :D

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

Given its slow movement, it'll be a while till it'll be high enough appreciably to be observed easily. Still, any comet at this stage s worth looking forward to.
