Photographer Jamie Newman shot this fantastic photo of Comet McNaught's "extravagant tail" and fan of dust visible from Auckland, New Zealand last night.

This marks the fourth night in a row that observers have spotted the comet's tail in northern skies. Dan Laszlo of the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society saw it on Jan. 17th and offers this advice: "Find the darkest sky you can and look west between one and two hours after sunset. A site where you can see zodiacal light would be best."
