Hi all, I finally got to see McNaught last night. The sky was clear of clouds and smoke haze and bingo there she was in all her glory

, absolutely bloody fantastic, everything I had expected

I also had my scope set up and was treated to a great view of the nucleus as well
I am hoping that tonight will be clear as well and I'll have a go at some images as well

. Unfortunately the clouds are back at the moment.
Cheers
