As I read somewhere in Internet, the comet should be actually in 
an outburst, because after the discovery some people searched 
for prediscovery images and it there not visible then the comet 
must have a big increase of brightness at the end of September, 
it should be very faint usually, it can possible that in 2011 it's out 
of an outbust then more faint that we can think.
Best greetings.
