Houghy,

Too many comets are never enough (to paraphrase Roy & HG).

I hope that people here are getting out to try to observe Schwassmann-Wachmann 3. What we're seeing right now - the chance to observe multiple fragments - is such a special opportunity.

And for those with long memories, tonight is 20 years since Comet Halley was visible during a total lunar eclipse. I have fond recollections of that evening, observing with my parents and my brother from Mt Banks in the Blue Mountains (and a sleep in the car on the way home as the following morning I was playing in a marching band for the ANZAC Day March).

Cheers,
