Grab your binoculars for a comet party: "With clear skies predicted, Northwest sky watchers may get a look at Comet McNaught, which could be visible to the naked eye low in the west-southwest sky after the sun sets a few minutes before 5 p.m. It will be in the sky for about an hour.
A clear view of the horizon is essential because the comet is less than 10 degrees high -- the equivalent of a fist held at arm's length. Because it will travel so low, the best views may be on the coast where no natural features, buildings or night lights can interfere. "
