Steve,

Forgot to mention your last question: Comet NEAT (C/2001 Q4) is heading
toward the Big Dipper every day but it doesn't get inside the Dipper itself
until the 3rd week of July 2004.

This Sat, 5/22/04, NEAT is still about 27 deg from Beta UMa, the closest
Dipper star.

Regards,

Bill Wood
Fountain Hills, AZ
