Well, glass will start getting made for ~30m telescopes soon,
and 100m telescopes are on the (digital) drawing boards. Since H-B
still has a 6" coma at 21 AU from the Sun (detectable in an 8-inch
telescope, mind you), it's obviously still active, and might still be
when it gets out farther. Aphelion is at a few hundred AU, something
like that, right?
