Periodic Comet 15P Finlay has recently flared from an expected magnitude of +13.3 to an estimated +8.7 (lower number means brighter). It currently appears near Mars and should be visible in large binoculars or small telescopes: earthsky.org/space/comet-finlay-is-in-outburst
I've created two preview charts and an ephemeris: www.CurtRenz.com/comets
The magnitudes listed in those graphics are based on JPL parameters and do not reflect the recent flaring.
Photos and descriptions of the comet would be welcome additions to this thread.
