Hi Jerry,

Location is going to be tough for you, but if you've got a clear,
low, southwest horizon you might find it with binoculars.  Look
immediately after sunset, 8 degrees above the sun's location and
about 3 degrees to the right.  (Clockface analogy:  if directly
above the sun is 12 o'clock, and to the right of the sun is
3 o'clock, Comet McNaught is toward 1 o'clock from the sun.)

Doug or anyone currently on line with position of the recent Comet, I'd 
appreciate a head's up to locate it OR is it that conspicuous in the SW
@ 
twilight???
It promises to be clear with a moonless twilight this evening in
Plymouth, 
MA??
