Fingers crossed for late this year. But I'll believe it when I see it. BTW, the new issue of S&T (available for free download to those with paid subscriptions to the paper version) contains an article about Comet Kohoutek entitled “The Comet of the Century proved to be anything but". Thing is as most comets go Kohoutek was actually pretty good. I was going to flight school in Tulsa at the time and could see it with binoculars from my place in the city. It's just that it got so overhyped that most public felt burned so, unfortunately, a couple of years later when the truly magnificent Comet West burst onto the scene many did not even bother to look. patrick
