Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught
Had a really great view of it just after sunset tonight. It's past its best
but I wasn't able to go looking for it before. http://www.yp-connect.net/~mmatti/_p...1_mcnaught.htm The head of the comet was about magnitude 0 tonight, which compares with -2 a few days ago at perihelion. But I still got to see the curved tail with its light and dark stripes. I dunno if all bright comets have them but this one did. It was the first time I've seen a comet other than Halley in 1986.
