from an article (copy paste) at Mail Online (UK) one partial sentence reads ...
Estimates for the size of the comet's core range from nine to 30 miles across, and astronomers say it will be moving at a phenomenal speed of 120,000mph

The planetarium program I use on my phone and laptop (Sky Safari) allows you to go to the planet/nearby star system and see what the sky looks like from there.

On the closest approach, Sliding Springs will be at -7.5 or so and cover almost the whole sky.

I’m gonna look for it, but, I bet I won’t be able to see the comet.
