I've been fairly unimpressed with comets in the past. For example, when Hally's comet came around about 20 years ago, I had unlimited access to the big 12" telescope on the roof of the Physics building where my dad was a prof. I spent hours up there, pointing the telescope at the exact coordinates where the comet was located. And saw nothing. It was much more interesting to point the telescope at the window of the nurses' locker room on the third floor of the hospital about four blocks away.

But I'm going to check this out tonight and see what I can see.
