I think the two best of my lifetime would be Kohoutek (sp?) and Hale Bopp.

When Hale Bopp passed through we stood in the parking lot at work every night and could see it even through the glare of the streetlights.

Although this object will be in our sky, we don't have much night sky left. Maybe a little deep twilight between midnight and 2 AM, and that is fading fast. Astronomy here is over the Internet until late August.

Kohoutek was a bust. You must be thinking of comet Hyakutake in '96.
