Re: Comet Hyakutake? YES!!!!



Well worth the wait! Bright nucleus with sharp, clear jet in 1/2 degree
field of view. Tail extending 25+ degrees once eyes were dark-adapted.

25 degrees!!??
Those are really fine dark-adapted eyes!...
or may be the conditions were better than your description

Anyone else agree with this 25deg?

At Ashcroft Observatory (Southern Utah University) 2am March 25, the tail
was indeed 25 degrees (measured imformally via fist method). Dark, clear
skies.
