Description

Comet McNaught is now visible in broad daylight. It's absolutely fantastic! This is the brightest comet in 40 years and may become the brightest in centuries. Visible in the East at sunrise, the West at sunset, and now visible in the middle of the day, just block the sun out with a tall building or large tower. This picture was taken last night in Rhode Island with a Nikon 8800. Please feel free to leave comments of viewing techniques and your personal sightings

Neat capture that's for sure, I love the trail. From what I've read, it's visible thro till Fri (Jan 12) in the northern hemisphere. I could be wrong, but maybe here in Toronto I'm SOL. Great capture, and thanks for the info!
