Comet McNaught photographed in broad daylight around 14 hours local time, through a 80mm f/600 refractor. The second shot shows McNaught above iridescent clouds. I post 2 more shots of the iridescent clouds. What a show. Later I was able to follow the comet until it disapeared bellow the horizon

Now the comet can be observed easily during the daylight with binoculars or telescopes. The comet can also be seen also--just barely--with naked eye. Be careful of the sun! Airplane photos taken at 15:00 pm. Sun was standing 15^o over the horizon.

This picture gives you an idea of what the naked eye saw at 14:00 mst. Too cool!

Comet easily visible at 16:45 to naked eye, magnitude estimated -4.7 FANTASTIC COMET. Only 10-15 deg more distant from the Sun and I can only imagine the show!
