The Great Comet?

Has anyone seen comet Macnaught? From the UK, in the WSW approximately,

just above the horizon, after 4:10 today, seems favourite to see it. If you can

somewhere get up high, that should help in spotting it!

Try again tomorrow, around 07:20, for half an hour or so, and again just

after sunset for a similar time. The 13th. and next day or so should give

you a better chance, that's if the forecasted weather fot the UK is reasonably

accurate... if not, all bets are off!

We have seen it for several nights now. Our science students view it through the telescope every night, with the other 6th grade science teacher. It is magnificent!
