McNaught was simply amazing viewed from Canberra tonight.

The tail was huuuuuuuuge!!!!And the head was wickedly bright.

We found it with 10x50 binos shortly after 8pm and it became easy naked eye shortly after.

On sunset the tail revealed itself naked eye and then the show really began.

The darker the sky became the brighter the whole comet became.

By shortly after nine it was breathtaking. Many degrees long and as bright as anything in the sky.

I'm still in shock

What a show
