Thanks Ann! I'm really hoping that Pan-STARRS will be at least as good as Ikeya-Zhang about ten or twelve years ago, and maybe a bit bigger and brighter. On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 2:00 PM, Ann House <ann@annhouse.org> wrote:

Most experts expect it to become naked-eye about as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper.
