It's going to make all the difference if this is its first visit this close to the sun, or if it's been there before (perhaps closer). I don't know how anyone could claim to give magnitude estimates for nearly two years from now for a distant body (currently near 7AU) of unknown constitution. Meanwhile we have plenty of time to learn how to pronounce it ) The recent "green comet" was hyped at best when there was too much Moon as journalists forget about the Moon. Never take anybody's word for it on comet predictions.Īlso, prepare for the hype. However, check all that, and there may be changes in orbit as it is either improved, or due to "non-gravitational forces" if there are any outbursts or marked jets or whatever nearer perihelion or just after. November 1st it's about four and a half mag, up near near naked eye in good nights at good sites Open Cluster IC 4665 in more northern Ophiuchus, the Moon's setting before the Sun does, just, in other words New Moon, Solar Elongation up to 55 degrees around 5 hours after the Sun.īy the 10th though it's already down to mag 6, making a roughly two and a quarter degree equilateral triangle with potentially naked eye Open Clusters NGC 6633 and IC 4756 almost on top of the Ophiuchus - Serpens (Cauda) border. When you get more into the beginning of the third week in October it might be still bright down to near second mag, challenging the recent NEOWISE maybes, but the Moon will be near full and it will likely still be just at Astronomical Twilight around October 16th 19h UT still at a Solar Elongation of only around 30 degrees and setting in about an hour or so, so not at much altitude no matter what your latitude, but at that time only two and a bit degrees from the Globular Cluster M5 in Serpens (Caput).īy the 21st of October you've got up to 4 hours after Sunset, Solar Elongation about 45 degrees, magnitude about two and a half but still not much altitude when Astronomical Twilight kicks in, and we're in a fairly southern part of Ophiuchus now, and Moon rise not till nearly two hours after Sunset. ![]() Now, currently it looks like it'll flirt with 0 mag at brightest, on the current orbit, with no outbursts.īut when you look at the details it'll be very near the Sun then and probably still be in Civil Twilight a week or so either side of perihelion, and it a primarily a pre-dawn object for Northerners, down Sextans and Virgo way. ![]() Periastron is as far away as late September 2024. Hot of the e-press discovery, so the orbit isn't likely tied down too tightly as of yet. ![]()
