This might be a good one,
Its reaching perihelion outside the earths orbit and will be in Taurus in January (not long before perihelion), ie it will be high in the sky...
This guy discovered it with a six inch scope :!: :!: at mag 11 :!: what were NEAT and Linear up to ??

If we'd know on Saturday night in Birr, we could have gone looking for it. :cry: dohhh
