The dazzling Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is emerging in the night sky: How to see it

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is arriving at its projected pinnacle of brightness, followed by a transition into the evening sky. 

Currently, it displays the classic look for a bright comet, flaunting a starlike head and a prominent tail. As we crossed over from September into October, a consensus of observations reported on the Comet Observations Database (COBS) placed the comet somewhere between first and second magnitude. (The larger the figure of magnitude, the fainter the object).
