comet still detectable

The CalSky "bright comet" message arrived a few moments ago. Should they relabel that? The "not very bright comet" perhaps? They are predicting C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS to be magnitude 3.7 tomorrow.

Mr Markov from Markham spotted it tonight. He said, on the RASC Yahoo!Group, at 8:49, it was "barely naked eye" from his locale. And that it looked similar in his 15x70 binoculars.
