Aha, nem eloszor csinál ilyet a kicsike.

By the way, this outburst is very similar to the outburst this comet
experienced in 1892, which led to its discovery by Edwin Holmes
(England) on November 6. He was turning his 32-cm reflector toward M31 and
thought that galaxy had entered the field of his finder. Upon
looking through the telescope he saw a comet about 5 arc minutes across
with a bright nucleus. Several people expressed scepticism that Holmes had
discovered such a bright comet, but it was confirmed with the naked eye by
other observers on November 7.
Anyway, since comets undergoing such dramatic outbursts initially appear
stellar once they reach maximum brightness, it seems Holmes probably saw
the comet a couple days after maximum. So, in a few days, we will have the
opportunity to see the comet as Holmes did almost exactly 115 years ago!
Sincerely,
Gary
