Description

- Getting Brighter, 9th Magnitude Comet C/2023 H2 Lemmon Floats Thru Canes Venatici 2023-10-24 -
Slated to brighten to better than 7th magnitude, comet C/2023 H2 Lemmon has shown a significant brightening since last I imaged.  Perihelion is in 5 days, while orbital crossing is two days later.  November 10th shows it's closest approach to the earth and perhaps the brightest in and around this time period...actually anybody's guess!
