I did see it, but it was very dim. I had my good binoculars with me. I\u2019ve seen three major comets over the last few decades. Includes Haley\u2019s comet, Hale-Bopp, and Kohutek. They were all pretty much non-events. I did a lot of research to figure out where to look for them but otherwise they were pretty much not worth the time except that\u2019s just one of the things I do! It was still great to be out there on that Mountain, totally dark, by myself. The rock was still hot even though it was a couple of hours after sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy got a new job today.
