This is an update of my earlier post about a meteor sighted at Kota Tinggi. It is believe that the meteor was actually not a meteor. It is a comet, the McNaught Comet.

Upon recovery in late December, it became apparent that the comet was brightening rapidly. It became visible to the naked eye in early January 2007. It was visible in the northern hemisphere until about 13 January 2007 (source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...).

Too bad, I missed the golden opportunity to view this magnificent celestial sight.
