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.

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 50o N --
being farther north helps for viewing this comet as it tracks
north of the Sun as it passes thru perihelion.

Very
good and cold weather this morning. The comet was visible
with the naked eye 2o 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.
