After several attempts aborted due to poor weather, finally some luck at 7:00 A.M. NST on January 8th. Winds at Signal Hill, a Canadian National Historic Site overlooking St. John's on one side and the Atlantic on the other, were at 120km/h just last night! But it was relatively calm and clear this morning.

This is a side-by-side from Jan. 6th and Jan. 7th showing the difference a day makes. Both photos were taken at 5:36pm local time.

The comet was clear and bright to see with the naked eye as the sun set at 16:20 UTC.

Here's a shot of Comet McNaught (2006 P1) bright in the evening twilight, easily visible in binoculars with a tail (as it appears here) and visible to the naked eye to the right of Venus. This was taken January 6. Its magnitude was about -1. This was taken from a latitude of 50^o N -- being farther north helps for viewing this comet as it tracks north of the Sun as it passes thru perihelion.

This image of Comet 2006 P1 (McNaught) was taken at 07:49 UT on January 7, 2007.

Very good and cold weather this morning. The comet was visible with the naked eye 2^o above the horizon a few minutes after its rising and 50 minutes before the rising sun.

The picture was taken 06h40m UT, shortly after the comet rose above the local horizon. The comet was then 3 degrees above (and the sun 10 degrees below) the true horizon. The comet was visible to the naked eye, and the tail was a beautiful sight in binoculars.

This morning, I photographed Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) through a break in the clouds. I saw the comet with my naked eyes before the sun made the sky too bright.

The comet was faintly visible to the naked eye before sunrise, at an altitude of 4 degrees (the sun was 10 degrees below the horizon). The photos resemble the view through binoculars.
