Check out the above link to see a CCD image showing C/2005 E2 Mc Naught with Asteroid Matilda seeming to pass through the comets tail. I came across this image on the MPML..enjoy!

79/P SW has now been observed a visual magnitude 15.1 with a 20cm scope. Currently things are looking good for its naked eye apparition on April - May.

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

That's an unusual sight alright. Very rare event I'd say.
Hopefully the comet brightens up as expected.

I'd say you would have to be in just the right place at just the right time too for that kind of apparition! :shock:
