Thanks for posting this one Gordan. I'll probably miss this one as it will
be too low when it becomes brighter...

I see it now has a short tail. Unfortunately it will stay very low and
in my trees. I lost a lot of them recently but none that block my view
from the observatory or this comet. You'll have to keep us posted on
what it is doing.
