Sky and Telescope website has a story that C2005/K2 LINEAR may have lost a chunk of its core and is apparently brightening. According to contributing editor David Levy, recent observations place the mag as high as 8.5. I got some scattered clouds tonight, so it'll be difficult to make a personal observation. C2005/K2 is currently in Cancer, so this is an early evening target.
