I have loved Comets since Halley in 1986, but my favourite is Hyukataki, I used to watch it everynight from my observatory and my other home in Redcliffe for months when one night the tail appeard, I drove up here to my observatory at about seven thirty on the night which was a thursday and stayed up till it dissapeared then called in sick the next day and had the most fantastic comet observing weekend I have ever had.
Comet Hale -Bopp was good but I think not as good as Hyukataki, Hale-Bopp was probably better for Northern Hemisphere observers because it was a night time Comet,it was an evening Comet and fairly low for me, it set earlier because of some hills,but still good.astroron
