The visibility function, defined here as the magnitude difference between the excess brightness of a given object and that of the background sky, of near-sun objects during twilight is obtained from a general calculation which considers the twilight sky background, atmospheric extinction, and night glow. Visibility curves are computed for a number of cases in which observations have been recorded, particularly that of comet Kohoutek. For this object, the computed visibility maxima agree well in time with the reported times of observation.
