Up and till comet Mcnaught came along Hyakutake was my favourite comet followed this comet with a now departed friend from when it was a little fuzzy dot until it reached its full glory, It has some great memories for me
I to saw its tail shooting straight up from behind a hill way past Arcturus like a searchlight, then early on in the morning fill the frame of my bedroom window
Comet Mcnaught will go down in the history books as the comet of the decade, possibly the century.
Comet Halley was special because of its history,but was not visually spectacular, Hale-Bopp was great but as it was an evening comet for us in the Southern Hemisphere was past its best for us.
Soho, Neat, and Linear where good but are not in the same league as Mcnaught in my opinion
