I observed comet McNaught Sunday evening from my back deck using 10x50  
binoculars. I first spotted the comet about 5:58 pm and took several exposures  
with my Nikon D70. Viewed through thin clouds along the western horizon,  
McNaught showed a very short, sun-opposing tail. This morning, I finally  found 
it in 
one of my digital exposures. The comet appears as  subltly brighter stroke 
just above the trees.

There were low clouds this evening and I did not see anything  looking
through the low cloud cover.
