Jonathan, according to the ephemerides on the Center for Astrophysics
Comet pages, the predicted magnitude for 46P/Wirtanen is about 10.5
right now, and some observed magnitudes put it just a little brighter
at 10.2... Not an easy object! Why do you ask?

PS: The comet pages can be found at:

Clear skies,
