where is he the outback and the comet blue text gone? looking for no 51?
of course I was also thinking that each of those 50 where probably observed on at least 50 different occasions each by Chris I am guessing
Congrats it's good to have milestones like that and great to achieve them
do you remember what your first comet observation was?
Thanks everyone for their kind words, my first was 1P/ Halley in May 1986, i was 7, and its what kicked me off in Astronomy.
Theres been a lot of faint ones in there, one that i have observed twice is 73P/ S-W 3, in 1996 and 2005.
My favourite was P1 McNaught obviously, unfortunately i didn't start following comets again until 2004, i had seen the bright ones in between.
The most eerie comet was 17P/ Holmes......i couldn't describe the feeling, it was totally different from P1.
Alan Hale (of Hale-Bopp fame) is counting down to his 500th comet, he only needs 20 or so, i however have a LONG way to go!
