Comet C/2023 P1 (Nishimura) is currently at magnitude +9.3. It might peak at magnitude +5.4 when it reaches perihelion at 0.2252 AU on 2023 SEP 17.
The comet will pass 0.8378 AU from Earth on 2023 Sep 12. It was discovered 2023 AUG 11 by H. Nishimura in Japan.
I’ve created two preview graphics and an ephemeris which can be viewed on my Comets webpage: www.CurtRenz.com/comets.html
Photos and descriptions of the comet would be welcome additions to this thread.
