Maybe I'm just suffering from a case of embellished memory but it sure seems like I remember a night at SPOC in the 90s when we saw a comet that stretched most of the way across the sky. Anyone remember that? patrick Sent from my iPad On Mar 19, 2013, at 10:00, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
I wish you could have seen comet West, Mat. Imagine Hale-Bopp, but 2-1/2 times the apparent size. You'd see the first hints of broad tail start to rise early in the morning, and the nucleus wouldn't rise until hours later.
