G'day Guys,
I finally managed to find comet McNaught at 17:30 local time today.
After trying several times over the last week, I was thinking I was doing something wrong.
The sky has been really hazy here for many days which was preventing success.
The sky looked a little better today and seeing on the forum that many were picking it up easily, I tried again. I used a 75mm short refractor to finally see the small fuzzy coma at an altutude of around 35 degrees.
I 'd roughly say it was similar to Venus in total brightness but the still hazy sky would hide a lot of the coma.
Well done to those guys who got daylight images, good stuff.
Cheers, Qakka
