andrew_jorgensenComets are coming!!
Hyakatuke and Hale-Bopp, back in the mid-nineties, provided me with some of my favorite sky viewing, so I'm guardedly hopeful about these two. Astronomy Magazine predicted that one might get up to 0.6 magnitude and the other 1.1, so I'm a little disappointed to see that Sky & Telescope suggests that LINEAR will max out at 2 and NEAT at 2.5. Well, I'm good on a clear but light-polluted Cleveland night to about magnitude 4.0, so here's hoping!
