C/2023 A3 was discovered in 2023 January and it comes to perihelion on September 27 when it will be only 0.39 au from the Sun .
At its brightest the comet will be low in a twilight sky in the southern hemisphere.
From the UK there is a small chance of seeing it pre-perihelION in the morning but the best views will probably be had post-PeriHelion.
The viewing geometry of the comet may lead to a significant brightening.
When the comet appears in the evening sky the northern hemisphere is favoured and the best latitudes are between 10 and 50 degrees N.
The comet may be brighter than 2nd magnitude through to the 17th and should have an impressive tail.
The nucleus is quite large, probably > 2km , so the comet will almost certainly survive perihelion.
