My recollection is that Ikeya Seki was about this time frame. Do you remember an antitail with the comet? If so, it was almost certainly Ikeya Seki. Brent --- Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com> wrote:
Speaking of comets...
One of my earliest astro-memories was my father waking me up in wee hours of the morning to view a rather impressive comet. This would have been sometime in the early 1960's -- I'm thinking 1961 or '62 (I was 5 or 6 at the time). Any ideas from some of the old timers what I might have been looking at back then?
