Comet Swan

[rollanrm]

Now that it seems Comet Atlas has fragmented, interest is replaced by Comet Swan which is also forecast to be fairly big and bright in late May.  But is there any ephemeris for Swan like the one that was here for Atlas?

Thanx rollanrm

Bjorkstrand - Thanks for the trouble.

I expect to include something re this in a blog article I'll probably put out around the weekend. It seems this comet is set rather surprisingly and quickly to  make up for the disappointment over Atlas. It's apparently even due to be at perihelion and brightest in late May like Atlas, but as to its size we shall see.

It's now at 5 magnitude.
