I thought a lot of people would be disapointed as a few of my friends and others whom really don't star gaze where in a sense led to believe it was a much bigger event than it was. I half guessed it would not be as visible as rated. In fact at the dark site we were at, you still needed Bino's to find it and know how to read a spotters map.
I rated the Titan Transit as a bigger event, however did learn a little more as what to look for when searching for comets.
Is that how most comets show up but only fainter & smaller again as they get further away? Once we found it, we really enjoyed using all the equipment on hand to get the best views.
How big was it & what distance? Was it traveling away from the sun? Does the tail always travel in the same dirrection. Any good links to those questions.
