Garradd C/2008 C3 has had a recent out burst. It is visible in Indus. This is quite a late night comet. Might be worth getting up for.

See map attached.

I haven't checked its magnitude lately mate. But from memory it is visible through binos.

probably not the best time to look for it (with a full moon), but i will be out with binos tonight. the hunt for me is the fun part.
