I also remember Comet Neowise in July 2020. I went out about 4 am to a small hill near my house to observe this comet. I stayed out there for about 45 minutes, then gave up and went back home.
At 5 am I decide to step out into my backyard for one last try. The sky was beginning to get light. And there was the comet! Beautifully hanging there in the early morning sky.
I would rate it as the third best comet I have seen in size and brightness of the tail.
You just never know.

That one was really awesome! We watched it every night for quite a number of nights from Wisconsin. Just STUNNING, really! :)
I remember Kohoutek, 1973.
What a bust.
Now I feel old. :-(
