SpaceWeather.com is now reporting:

BRIGHTENING COMET: Comet McNaught is plunging toward the sun and brightening dramatically. It is now visible to the unaided eye both at sunset and at dawn. Amateur photographers have found that they can take pictures of the comet using off-the-shelf digital cameras with exposure times less than a second. Estimated visual magnitude: between 0 and -1.
That's good news on the one hand, for those of us that Love comets! And bad news because the *&^#%$ clouds here won't let me see Anything and the weather report doesn't look good for the next several days either!
