One part of this that I pull up in my memory.  Back when Hyakutake and
Hale-Bopp appeared, we had some really great programs at Medoc.  For
Hyakutake we had about 300 people.  This is the sort of event that gets
folks going on astronomy again.

Early predictions say that in late 2013, this comet could be brighter in the
night sky than the full moon and possibly visible during the day. Sounds
very exciting, although I can't help but think of how it could ruin deep-sky
observing for an extended period.
