It was a wonderous sight and I'm happy that I had the chance to see it.

Good news Ric and I got my first look this morning. On the way home I was thinking about this thread and the buzz about the comet - the next thing I'm humming a bit of Led Zep with Plant singing 'I can't stop talkin' about love...'.
The comet's a bit surprising, I couldn't see any head - no condensation. Initially I though it was lost in the glow but even once it rose into the dark sky the tail just stops at the horizon end. Loverly long tail, it must have been nice a week ago.
