Comet C/2006 P1
McNaught
On
Saturday, January 13th I noticed that the sky was very transparent
and thought it might be worth taking an image of the comet
in broad daylight.
I
was excited when I was able to to see the comet with small
binoculars and then also with the naked eye at noon. (My
wife saw it first without optical aid.)
A
bunch of neighbours and some other persons walking by did
also see it with the 80mm refractor, some small binoculars
and with the naked eye. |

An
Image of my wife standing on the roof-top terrace with Comet
McNaught in the Background. Once you had located the comet
it was quite obvious to the naked eye. the imag was taken
at noon-time just before lunch! |
