Perhaps head up the the NM Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque and look at the events on the sun through their sun telescope during the day?! If any of you got photos of the comet let me know and I will post them!-_Tabbi

Space Weather News for Jan. 26, 2007
http://spaceweather.com
SOLAR ACTIVITY: Something on the far side of the sun exploded yesterday, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection over the sun's eastern limb. An active sunspot must be lurking just around the corner. It should appear in a few days when solar rotation carries that part of the sun into view. Stay tuned for solar activity.
COMET MCNAUGHT: The Great Comet of 2007 is receding from Earth and fading fast, but it is still a naked-eye object (recent estimates place the comet's head at 1st magnitude) and an easy target for amateur photographers in the southern hemisphere. A 30-second exposure with an off-the-shelf digital camera reveals a curving, dusty tail more than 25 degrees long. Photographers should take their pictures soon, before next week's full Moon spoils the show.
