Joe, this made me chuckle. I used to regularly observe with Tom when I lived on Siding Spring Mountain, using his 12" and also his C8. (I lived about 50m from him). I watched Halley's Comet from that scope, among many other things. Tom was a good friend. My other main 'tutor' was Rob McNaught - we had quite a little community up there in the late 1980s... Ahhh, the memories.
