I went over to my Parents house which was located in a dark and clear sky. I focused my spotting scope on it.

I can remember telling my parents about it and being surprised that they wanted to see it. They were around 80 at the time but they went out and looked at it. I think it was the only comet they ever saw.

It was visible here to the eye, but details were much easier to appreciate with some help — I was shopping for a new bicycle, and the dealer (in some tiny little hamlet south along US-131) had binoculars in the store for just such an eventuality. :’)
