According to the report from SkyAndTelescope.com, Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 is going to be at the closest approach at 1600 (GMT+8) 8th May. But, I am going to prepare my observation this Saturday night. It’s going to pass the Ring Nebula before dawn on 8th May.
It was 6.9th magnitude and nearly 12 arcminutes in size on 1st May. A backyard telescope is more than enough to spot this comet. If it grows brighter and lesser than 6th magnitude, unaided eyes are manage to spot it on the very dark sky.
I am getting very excited of the observation on Saturday night! 
This will be my first observed comet!
