Northern people can never see it again.
It was observed visually as 13 mag in October. It was already 14 mag in mid November. It tends to be brighter after perihelion passage, but actually it is as bright as before perihelion. It may be a bit brighter than the ephmeris. Because it is far away, it keeps 14 mag until late 2000, while Northern people can observe it under good condition.
