How bright will Comet Machholtz get?

On Fri, 12 Mar 1999 you wrote:

Comet Machholtz 2 is not expected to get brighter than 7th bagnitude,
which is a little fainter than your eye can see on the darkest, clearest
nights. Information on this comet and others can be found at NASA's
comet observations homepage, http://encke.jpl.nasa.gov/

Thanks for writing.

Sincerely,
