I guess we really lucked-out weather-wise when Hale-Bopp appeared in '97, wasn't it? That observing window ran from late February through early April, IIRC, and there were many absolutely clear mornings and evenings during that time. I went out for photography sessions at remote sites no fewer than 9 times for Hale-Bopp and wasn't clouded out for any of them.
