I would be over 100 if I got to see Hally’s again. So, yeah, not gonna see it
with these eyes.

Out here we expect to see it just below the big dipper after sunset starting
tonight. I think it should be visible in the evening for another couple of
weeks.
When Hally's came around in 1986, it was considered a "poor showing". It's
not clear to me if this is because it is diminishing in general, or whether it
just had bad geometry that time around. None of us will probably be alive to
see it next time.
Hale-Bopp was great, we enjoyed watching it for at least a month or so.

Got up about 4 or so and saw the comet. You can see it with the naked eye.
Best one I think I have ever seen. Halley's was no big deal. Hale-Bopp was
not great but was about the same as the current one.
Kohoutek was the first I saw but I had to use field glasses.
