Now being reported at magnitude 2.5!!

"HOT NEWS: Astronomers in Japan, Persia and Europe report that Comet
17P/Holmes is undergoing a spectacular eruption. The 17th magnitude
comet has brightened by a factor of five hundred thousand or more during
the past 24 hours becoming a naked-eye object in the evening sky. Look
for a yellow 2.5th magnitude fuzzball in the constellation Perseus after
sunset."

Not bad for a comet discovered in 1892 with an orbital period of 6.9 years!!
