Comet McNaught 2006 P1

This is a very bright (Mag. 1)object in the south-west right after the sun sets. I saw it at 5:15 PM EST on 1/2/07 and it set well before dark. A clear horizon or tall building is needed to catch it but it's worth the effort. But for it's location it would be mistaken for Venus.

Got some photos at 5:30 EST from the front plaza at the University of Buffalo. Here the comet sets before it gets completely dark so a very clear south/southwestern horizon is needed.
