Took a break from packing up my house for a few minutes to observe 
McNaught at 2:29 in the afternoon.  The photos are not great success, 
but it is a recognizable comet!  Used the Canon 20Da on the TV-76.  
Signal to noise is not good as there seem to be a lot of aerosols in the 
sky today over Tucson.  The tail is visible to the left (east) of the 
coma away from the Sun.

The view is better with a Mark 1 eyeball at the eyepiece.
