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.
To see Comet McNaught, a clear view of the horizon is essential. In
the morning, go outside and face east. The comet emerges just ahead of
the rising sun. In the evening, face the other way - west. The comet
pops out of the western twilight as soon as the sun sets. Binoculars
reveal a pretty, gaseous tail.
Northern observers are favored. The long, dark mornings and evenings
of Canada, Scandinavia and Alaska are ideal for viewing this comet so
close to the Sun. But the comet has been sighted in other places, too,
as far south as Kansas in the United States and Italy in Europe.

Has anyone seen Mabus? :-)

I thought comets were supposed to be a once in a lifetime thing. If I'm able
to see this one, that will be three comets I've seen with the unaded eye in
my life. All in the past 10 years, I think. It must mean it's close to the
end times!!!

That, or we've just gotten much better at knowing the paths of
the near-earth objects, so that we know in advance where to look.

You should see it at sunset from around 13th January. Best might be
around 15th, 16th if the comet remains bright. Look to the west, a
little above exactly where the sun has set, shortly after sunset. The
tail of the comet will point away from the sun.
www.spaceweather.com will have finder charts closer to the dates.

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's been common throughout history.
Also,there wasn't so much light pollution in the past

See Comet McNaught's predicted path through southwestern skies.
The view will vary significantly depending on your latitude and sky
conditions. The comet will also be visible in eastern skies just
before sunrise.
