Went out tonight to try and find [Comet C/2006 P1 McNaught](http://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~rmn/C2006P1.htm) with no luck so far – too much haze, and Canberra is just too bright.
This continues my near perfect record of not being able to see astronomical phenomena from Canberra, having also missed a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse, and I could never really see Halley’s Comet either.
