The 'visuals' on that are just hilarious, I can see it all as it happened. Thanks Chris for a well written piece of hilarity.

I can echo the McNaught Comet situation.
Bunch of us, locals and my camera all standing around up on the water reservoir lid on Mt Albert, our local volcano looking for McNaught in the evening sky. I'm waving my long lens around scanning the horizon and a wee kid comes wandering over, taps me on the shoulder and points upward and say's "'Is that the Comet ?"
I look away from the camera, turn left and up a wee bit and there is McNaught, hanging in the sky in all her longtailed glory as plain as daylight.
Dumbstruck, just dumbstruck....

In my defence it was before I found IIS and scopes.....
