Daylight Sightings of McNaught??

[Gary Beal]

Hi all,
you guys been seeing McNaught like I have??? Don't give me that "I want what you have been smoking" look!!!
McNaught is relatively simple to seee even with the naked unaided eye, as long as you know where to look. Find it with the binos first, and use the shade of a roof etc first.
Imaging it is a tad more tricky, but this was taken about 2 hours ago. Not flash, but when you haven't seen one during the day before, why not.

I was able to see it really well on Thursday and Friday.....I got a few shots on Thursday with my Nikon before it disappeared in the clouds.

Great image Gary!! I am STILL waiting for a chance to check out this comet. We have had non-stop clouds here for what seems like the past month!

Don't miss it Brian, I have seen plenty of comets, but never one during the day, so I was very happy. I have just this minute walked in from trying to find it, as the sun is about 2 hours from setting, with no luck, even with the binoculars. Midday or when it is directly overhead seems to be the way.

Gary, the first opportunity that I get when the clouds break, I will try to get some images of it!! It is "usually" clear this time of year!!
