Looks like another potentially bright comet has been posted on PCCP, but with only a small arc so far. However SWAN25B appears to be around 8th mag and visible in binos in the southern hemisphere. If the orbit is anywhere near correct and this is not a disintegration outburst the northern hemisphere should get it end of Sept

I have generated a preliminary orbit and added SWAN25B to the current comets lists. Right now its mostly a southern-hemisphere binocular object, but it if survives long enough, it will be observable from the northern hemisphere at the end of the month.
