Comet Nishimura
Comet P1 Nishimura, from Belfast, N Ireland at approx 5am on 4th September 2023. The comet was only discovered in August 2023 and is currently approaching naked-eye visibility. The problem is that it is also rapidly approaching the Sun and is only visible for a brief period in the pre-dawn sky (and that period is getting shorter the closer it gets to the sun!).
