ROFL nice one Roger.

The comet has been BIG news! It's really captured the public interest, and it's definitely been a boost for IceInSpace, both in membership and visitors.

to all the new members who signed up thanks to Comet McNaught!

The site has been extremely busy especially during peak times (like last night, after everyone came inside from looking at the comet)!!

We apologise for the delays experienced - over 300 people online, the server copped a hammering. Terry and I are looking at upgrading the server in the next few months so we'll be able to cope better with loads like this when the next big event comes More near-earth comets please, Rob McNaught

I've had naked-eye big sunspot (930 behind dense smoke) and naked-eye daylight comet since I joined in December. I guess next is naked-eye daylight supernova. May I put in a request now with the moderators - anytime in the next few months will be fine, thanks.

We'll see what we can conjure up out of our bag of tricks, erick.
