| Comet McNaught C/2006 P1
I just took a 20 minute drive and then a further 20 minute walk up one of the small local mountains to get a good view out towards the west to try and get a shot and first look at Comet McNaught C/2006 P1. It was cloudy out towards the west but my father inlaw, 2 year old (oh the fun) and my 8 year old stood in cold windy cold conditions to try and get a glimpse. It turned out that once I located it, I got about a 30 second look at it before the clouds covered it over. We waited another 20 minutes to see if the clouds would move out of the may but no such luck. I can tell you that if you get a chance to look at this comet. Do It! Its bright and has a great tail easily visible to the naked eye. It's suppose to be sunny here thursday and friday so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get some good skys to really enjoy this celestial wonder.
Regards,
