Three experienced comet observers report much brighter magnitudes
for McNaught in the last several hours:
Visual total-magnitude and tail-length estimates made in
daylight: Jan. 12.84 UT, -3.9, short (D. W. E. Green, Cambridge,
MA, U.S.A., 20x80 binoc.); 12.91, -4.5, 0.1 deg (J. Bortle,
Stormville, NY, 10x50 binoc.); 12.91, -4.1, about 0.5 deg (C. S.

Hoping to do midday viewing with the Lowell Clark on Saturday....
