Hey, Rich, thanks for that great link! Funny you should mention Kohoutek...talk about being underwhelmed. I had actually forgotten about that one (about '74, yes?) because I was so disappointed after all the hype in the press failed to come true. For years afterwards, I remember that dim comets were referred to as another "Kohoutek"! Comet West was certainly a reward for having endured Kohoutek, and I'm sure it didn't get the press it deserved BECAUSE Lubos Kohoutek's comet was such a fizzle. I was also disappointed in Halley, although I knew it wasn't going to put on a great show this time around; my grandfather did see it as a boy in 1910, and my daughter has a chance of seeing it at it's next apparition. I hope she gets a grand show...from a window seat on a space-liner! ..and you all thought an eclipse cruise was neat! ;) Chuck --- Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com> wrote:
I remember Kohoutek and West very well -- Comet West was amazing; even in very light polluted skies it was spectacular.
