The ATLAS survey discovered an object on 2024 September 27 that appears
to be a member of the Kreutz family and which has an orbit very similar
to the famous sungrazer C/1965 S1 (Ikeya-Seki). It is currently listed
as A11bP7I on the PCCP. It will come to perihelion on 2024 October 28
passing only just above the solar surface. The comet is currently in the
southern hemisphere morning sky and will remain there through to
perihelion and beyond if it survives.

With three days worth of astrometry the orbit is now reasonably well
defined but the magnitude evolution through to perihelion and beyond is
currently very hard to predict. The comet might become quite bright at a
small solar elongation but it might not. In any case observers in the
southern hemisphere will get the best view.

I've published a note on the BAA website here:

and will update it when we get a better idea of how bright this comet
may become.
