[Chaos-l] Comet McNaught

[Mark South]

Hi,
I plan to go to JL Farrington Pt this afternoon my self hoping to catch it ~ 5pm or so.   it's going to be around 9.5 degrees at this time from the horizon, so I hope I can catch this.  
Hope others can go out there and join me as well.  I'll probably go to the docking ramp or the highway.

It was pretty low contrast at first but was getting brighter all the time. I was using 10x42 binoculars and I never was able to see it clearly without the binoculars. It ducked behind the trees before it got dark. It's amazing that I could see it so well under those conditions including a well defined tail. I was also able to view it with a refractor at about 35x but I think the binoculars
