You can never tell with comets: they often promise much and deliver little, sometimes because they pass too close to the Sun and sublime into a diffuse cloud of gas, sometimes because they're not visible from the UK when they're at their best. Just possibly, though, we might be able to see two naked eye comets in mid-October: Comet Swan and Comet Lemmon. The former will be near the bright star Altair, while Lemmon will be between the Plough and the bright star Arcturus. The chart below is for mid-evening on October 21st.
