January's surprise - Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1)

Sky and Telescope has a guide to observing this bright, but only recently discovered, comet. Unfortunately, it is staying very low in the night sky. Stargazers in the northern temperate latitudes will have the best luck, as long as seeing is good.

(Author's note: See the comments for another link with more information.)
