Get out there and get the binoculars or scope. Its going to be up for a few more days. Very weird looking site.
Here's what you are missing if you had eagle eyes: |

I've got night vision goggles so if it's out there tonight I won't miss it.

Seems like maybe 15 years ago, there was a comet easily visible, even the tail. And it was in the sky at the same time as an eclipse.
I happened to be driving through Arizona at the time, so there was plenty of open space to see it with little light pollution. IIRC, the comet appeared very close to the moon as well. Very ****ing cool. Know what I'm taking about? Have a pic of that? |

The first bright comet of the 21st century, Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught reached a brilliance of several times that of Venus at magnitude -5.5 and was termed the Great Comet of 2007. One of the brightest comets in the past century, McNaught sported a brilliant fan-shaped tail and was seen by millions worldwide. If you missed it on the first pass, you’re out of luck — McNaught is on an extremely long period orbit, and won’t return to the inner solar system for another 92,600 years.

Right now it WSW of the Pleiades which is visible from even downtown. Scan till you see a oddly fuzzy star. In the dark country you can see a little of the tail with a good set. Or even use a gun scope
