Re: Comet McNaught

You may still have another day or two.

I've seen reports of it being spotted in BROAD DAYLIGHT - there are also photos of this on Spaceweather.com.

Been watching for the last couple of days myself, but too much cloud

Today it is about 7 degrees left and down of the Sun (at about 8 0clock on a clock face)
A closed fist held at arm's length covers about 5 degrees of sky.

Tomorrow it will be lower, and further away from the Sun (at about 7 0clock position) - and on Wednesday it won't get much above the horizon.

I saw it last wednesday, just after sunset, when it was about 10 degrees above the Sun - but am still watching - wishing for the clouds to clear - hoping to spot it during the day - a daylight comet is VERY rare.
