Remember Comet Kohoutek? Also hyped to be brighter than the moon.

I actually did manage to see it with binoculars.

Remember Comet Kohoutek?

One of the biggest Epic Fails of my childhood. The nuns at school had me all prepared for a replay of the Nativity Star. I didn't see bupkis.

Yea, I thought I could see it for an instant then someone in the neighborhood turned on their porch light LOL

Yes, I remember it. Took some time photos of it. Expected the pics to turn out well. I used tri-X film and tracked the comet in different times from 5 min. to 15 min.
But, we moved shortly after the event and the undeveloped rolls got lost in the shuffle. I’ll bet they would have been very good pic.

Which comet was it about 10 years ago that took up about 1/10th of the entire nighttime sky? It was huge!

I went out into the country to get away from the city lights, and I was expecting or hoping to see a tiny little comet with a little tail behind it.. but instead I look outside and the thing was huge- it was about the size of 4 widths of the full moon, at least

Pretty spectacular- but you do have to get out of the city to see it- I could not see it from my home at all
