Hello all,

I have been glued to iceinspace for the past week or so - amazing to be able to share this amazing comet with so many other people who are also finding it difficult to use or invent superlatives to describe what we are seeing.

I was wondering whether those of you who have seen other very impressive great comets like West, Hale Bopp & Halley etc have any thoughts on how impressive/bright McNaught is compared to those others.

Thanks to the modern miracle of digital photography I can safely assume that McNaught has already become the most photographed comet in history. But where does it rank among the great comets? Many are saying it is the best comet since Ikeya-Seki (1965). Anyone here who remembers that one and who saw some of the others and who can tell us more?
