re: Maccholz
One of my amateur Astronomer dreams is to see a comet stretched across the sky. I saw a couple of good ones, in the early 1990’s, that were 3 or 4 times the Moons diameter.
Also on my wish list is to see a meteor shower that looks like the sky is zooming at warp speed.
And third on that wish list is to see an impact on the Moon. (Jupiter was great. I saw that one in my scope.)
I don’t think this comet will satisfy my first wish, but I love watching even the faint comets.
