comet mcnaught
some info on http://www.heavens-above.com
register, put your postcode in, and you can get a whole sky chart with constellations. also shows the position of the comet
"UK observers will have until around January 14th to see the comet in the twilight, and by then it is only visible in the evening. The angle between the earth, comet and Sun becomes quite large around January 14th and this should lead to an additional increase in brightness. It may therefore be worth trying daylight observation within a day or two of January 14, although the comet is then only 5 degrees from the Sun, so extreme care will be needed. Mercury is close by, and it seems possible that the comet will be the brighter object. Venus is rather more distant, but may be a comparable brightness. The comet will be visible in the SOHO and STEREO coronagraphs from January 12 to 15, so for a real-time view see:"
