Well;

The bad news about the Kreutz sungrazer family of comets is that after
they pass the Sun they move dead south.  So, as this comet moves away from
the Sun it will move out of our sky.

It certainly would be nice for us northerns to get a really spectacular
comet.  I'll charge up the batteries in my DSLR camera, maybe that will
attract one;-)

Clear skies;
Steve Coe
