Actually we really can still see part of it. On Spaceweather.com is a picture by a Colorado amateur of the top of the broad tail including some of the Striations. He said it was easily visable in binoculars and looked like an aurora that was standing still on the western horizon. DT --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:

And the worst part is, there goes our statistical great comet. 10 more years, folks... :o(
