McNaught is very fine. Finally saw it in a reasonably clear twilight sky tonight (some smoke, a fair bit of street light polution). Halley's was a complete flop, Bennett was good but not a patch on McNaught. I missed West. Hale-Bopp was bright but a bit gormless when visible here (Canberra). Ikeya-Seki remains the stand out event of my astronomical life, but McNaught is a very good second, with a far more beautiful tail. Possibly viewed in darker skies than tonight, it might creep closer to Ikeya Seki.
