Seems like we have several comets to keep a eye on this month!
Would love your feedback if you catch one.

Quote taken from the linked article below.

"Comet 144P/Kushida is well placed for Northern Hemisphere viewing in January 2024, with the best time to see it being 1–18 and 28 January into early February
The comet will pass along a track from southern Aries at the start of the month towards the Hyades in Taurus by the end.

Comet Kushida is a ninth-magnitude object that is best seen through a small or larger telescope.

In this guide we'll reveal key dates for spotting Comet 144P/Kushida, with charts to help you track it in the sky throughout the month."
