5 Jan 2007: Comet McNaught C/2006 P1 is a bright but very low object at both dusk and dawn. Appears rather like Mercury with a tail, about 1st magnitude. Photo by J.O'Neill with a 200mm lens (5th Jan 2007 at 17.17 UT). The comet is now near 3.4 mag Lambda Aquilae which is too faint to appear in the photo.
