Wow, what great cameras they had back then..J/K ;)
I do wonder, however, could a comet produce a tail that looks that long from Earth?
I have seen only Haley’s and Kohoutek.
As I remember, Haley was a disappointment on the most recent pass, and not as good as the previous pass that I understand, frightened most everyone, or Kohoutek, as I saw it.
