It passed very near by the earth, within 0.1 A.U., and brightened up to 8.0 mag in the southern sky (Aug. 14, Willian Souza). It appeared in the morning sky in the Northern Hemisphere. Now it is very bright as 7.5 mag (Sept. 15, Todd Augustyniak). It keeps observable while fading gradually after this. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is not observable until winter when it becomes fainter than 16 mag.

It has brightened faster than expected, and reached up to 8.1 mag in mid August (Aug. 19, Michael Mattiazzo). However, it turned to be fading and got diffuse rapidly after that. It has been already became fainter than 10.5 mag and unable to be detected (Sept. 14, Michael Mattiazzo). Altnough it was expected to be a naked eye comet, the nucleus is disintegrating and the comet will disappear soon. However, it is still detected by STEREO spacecraft images at 12-13 mag (Sept. 11, Alan Watson). It is not observable now. After appearing in the morning sky in October, it becomes observable in the excellent condition at midnight. However, the comet can be already too faint to see.

New comet discovered in the spacecraft images. Now it is so bright as 10.5 mag (Sept. 15, Chris Wyatt). In the Southern Hemisphere, it must have located high and been observable in excellent condition from spring to summer. It locates high still now. But it will be getting lower in the evening sky after this, and it will be unobservable in late September. In the Northern Hemisphere, it locates extremely low and hard to observe. It will appear in the morning sky at 15 mag in late November, then it will be observable while fading gradually.
