does less significant include, ..Comet Hyakutake at its best, from very dark skies, in 1996, and the last aussie total solar eclipse in dec 2002 in SA, the awesome long duration total lunar eclipse of july 2000, the peak of the leonids fireball shower in 1998 (under dark skies), the leonids meteor storm in 2001 (under dark skies), the last solar maximum and resulting auroral activity? if so, I am impressed that these didnt impress you?
I saw Halleys in '86 and i didnt find it that impressive to be honest.
