Re: [APML] Comet NEAT - May 11th image

Hi Stuart -

It was definitely a very nice comet but no Hyakutake or Hale-Bopp.  I don't
think any comet will compare to Hyakutake in our life time.

With all the hype before hand, I'm actually surprised at the lack of prime
focus CCD/film images.  There are tons of tripod/camera pics though.  There
have been some good ones posted on the SBIG list and one or two on the
digital-astro group but I would've expected more.......  Maybe it was the
crap weather in most areas?  I know if I didn't travel to CA, I would have
nothing to show.

Chris
