Hayukataki. Hale Bopp. Yep. We were pretty lucky to see those. And that one last year or was it the year before was quite nice. It was overcast and cloudy the while time Haley’s was here but who knows, maybe I’ll get to see it next time.

My old site captured a few pretty cool pics of both those comets. Most people sent me there pictures they took on film through the mail. I scanned and posted them.
Looking back I am glad that the wayback machine still has em.
I miss seeing those two comets from the 90’s. The first one was so close it appeared to take up a third of the sky. We went to the lake where it was very dark and gazed at it through the binoculars.
I hope this c2021 gives us a good show!
