My memory of that night is very vague, and it very well could have been a year or two later; the years we lived in that particular house in So. Calif. was between were 1961-1966, and so that could include a number of good comets, but it was a pre-dawn spectacle (as best as I can remember), and no, I don't remember any specific details, other than it left a HUGE impression on my young mind that never went away... Thanks for the input -- I'm going to research this some more... Rich --- Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com> wrote:
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.
