I believe it may have already have mostly passed you by:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_McNaught

Some relevant exerpts:

"...It was visible in the northern hemisphere near Venus, in
Sagittarius and surrounding constellations, until about
13 January 2007..."

"...Due to its proximity to the sun, the northern hemisphere
ground-based viewers had a short window for viewing, and the
comet could only be spotted during bright twilight,
immediately after sunset..."

"...It may be possible to see portions of the tail from very
dark locations in the Northern Hemisphere that are near the
equator..."

Cheers,
Marc
