Ha! Only a fellow old geezer would remember that. But I hate to think how many people felt so burned by Kohoutek that when West came along they didn't bother to look. Sigh... patrick On 03 Sep 2013, at 15:28, Chuck Hards wrote:
Hey, on the flip side, if ISON is truly* just like* Kohoutek, does that mean we'll get an amazingly fantastic Great Comet a year later? ;-)

Anyone here seen the ad Astronomy magazine emailed out today?
It's headlined "DON'T MISS The GREAT COMET OF 2013" and is hawking a "DEFINITIVE GUIDE" to the comet (their choice of upper case, not mine).
They're talking about ISON, of course.
I'm guessing the folks at Astronomy are not old enough to have learned the lessons of Comet Kohoutek.
Ugh!
