And if only we could have been down in the Australian outback last
January to see Comet McNaught's magnificent tail at dusk...
Great list,
Bernie

Really a great object for me as well. Not much to add on details,
it's a great object that is interesting in any scope, binocular or
naked eye.
I tend to not think of myself as a big coment fan, but many of my
observing highlights over the years are comet related.
-- Showing Halley to hundreds of people at Jones Beach outside of
NYC
-- Spotting close by giant fast moving fuzzball Comet
IRAS-Araki-Alcock
-- Seeing spots on Jupiter from collision with Shoemaker-Levy 9
-- Viewing the incomparable unexpected Hyukataki
-- Following the anticipated extremely bright and detailed Hale-Bopp
-- Being amazed by couple of years of fantastic Leonid displays
thanks to Tempel-Tuttle
-- Spotting pieces of broken coment Schwassman-Wachmann 3
-- Detecting the brighting of Comet Tempel when smacked by a probe
-- Seeing Comet McNaught at midday right near the sun
-- and now, seeing a strange bright pearl in Perseus
There's probably more that I could add, but that's quite a list for
someone who prefers deep sky!
