CBET 5285 announces the discovery of an 11th magnitude, diffuse comet by
the Japanese observer Hideo Nishimura on Aug 12.78 UT. The comet is
currently at a small solar elongation (34 deg) but may be visible in the
morning twilight. A number of visual observers have reported
observations in the last day. The solar elongation is almost constant
through to the end of August then decreases through September as the
comet brightens.

The comet is currently in Gemini. At the start of nautical twilight at
52N tomorrow (Aug 16, 0330 UT) the comet will be around 14 degrees
elevation.

An ephemeris is available on JPL Horizons. Please send any observations
to the section.
