Um I may have left this a little late, but I found an article. I saw the comet myself tonight, I was so happy! I hope you can all enjoy this beautiful comet (McNaught) tonight or tomorrow night wherever you are.

Where I live, it is in the South West, but this should apply for anywhere, because it's a comet, it will be pointing towards the sun, with the tail pointing -away- from the sun. Therefor it will look like it is 'falling' towards the horizon where the sun has set. Keep your eyes peeled! It's visible to the naked (Good eyesight) eye. I had binoculars and a telescope.

You should get this view:

Good luck!

Oooh...these things are always fun. I missed the last meteor shower due to fog and rain. Thanks!

I saw it again tonight, it was even brighter, I actually filmed it. If I can get it on youtube, I will, but I highly doubt I have any idea how.

Matt if you look at the Sunset, thats where you ought to be able to see it. (After the sun has set). Same directions as posted above.
