Catalina on it's way !

[andrew63]

This increasing looks like it might be a fine comet to see when it swings it's way toward us in the north. Start cooling that film !

I see they are being a little cautious this time:

Will Comet Catalina become visible to the unaided eye? Given the unpredictability of comets, no one can say for sure, but it seems like a good bet.

They are not declaring it to be the comet of the centuary as they did with Ison. :laugh2:

Another one like Lovejoy will do fine ;-)

Looking forward to seeing it (with bins at least)

Let's hope it does continue to brighten and becomes a naked eye object.

Fingers crossed! Thanks for posting

Haven't managed to see 141P/Machholtz yet.

I was hoping to see C/2015 F4 (Jacques), but poor conditions prevent me from doing so. 141P/Machholtz would be a good one to try too

Thanks for the heads up, fingers crossed that it puts in a good showing in December when it crosses into the northern sky.

Yup, those of us in the northern hemisphere look like we have a little time to prepare
