Details:

Now this comet is far from the earth.
A long time ago, after a probable migration into its current orbit, newly fresh from the deep-freeze in the Kuiper belt or Oort cloud, it could be at mag.10 at opposition. Because it has a similar nucleus diameter to comet Hale-Bopp (60 km, although too small to be gravitationally rounded),

On November 9th 1995 Hale-Bopp also was 6.20au from the sun, at Mag. 10 and on April 1st 2001 at a distance of 13,8au from the sun, it was at ca. mag.15 and had a coma diameter of 7'. It shows the same shell or spiral structure as 29P often has on its best viewed outbursts.

Sun distance (au): 6,20 Perihel 28.March 2019 Sun dist.(au): 5,77
