Just walked in from spotting McNaught! I am in Las Vegas and its 10:25am Blocked the sun with the roof peak of the house next door. Bingo. About 6 degrees east of the sun (blocked) was McNaught in 9 X 60 binocs! As easy as seeing the waning moon in the blue sky setting in the west. Head and tail visible.
Daylight McNaught

Yowza, wowza! 
Thanks James. That's pretty cool. My first ever daytime comet sighting!
I had only seen it in the evening once. We've had clouds the last few days.
I brought out the TV-85 for a while, too. Got tired of trying to hold the 7x56's steady.
The higher power didn't hurt any either.
