The comet was spotted in bright twilight on 22 April, when the comet had an estimated magnitude of about 4 to 4.5. [7] On 25 April, while the comet was estimated to have a same magnitude, its tail was estimated to 8.5 degrees long with naked eye, while on 27 April the tail length was estimated to be 10 degrees with 7×35 binoculars, while the ...
