That would be amazing!
I saw Halley Bop in zero light pollution in the desert at Ft Irwin.

I filmed it with night vision which increased the length of the tail 5 fold.

Then the unexpected happened.
I caught a shooting star bisecting the tail!

To bad it’s on VHS C

That's Hale-Bopp, Halley's is a different comet.

Lucky to see Halley's on a cold night in East Texas and Hale-Bopp from about 35,000 feet over the Aleutians.

The last big one I remember around here (that I saw anyway) must have been in the 1990s. I was south of here, in a small town, looking at a bicycle; the dealer / bike enthusiast invited me to have a look through the binocs, but they were hardly necessary.

A friend got a puppy around the time of Hale Bop and she named it Haley.
