| Name | April V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Absolutely the most spectacular thing I have ever observed in the sky! I don’t know whether I should rate my experience above as a 1 or a 2. I saw the comet a number of years ago, I’ve watched the occasional meteor shower, and I can locate a few constellations in the night sky. It looked like it was going to hit the mountaintop, but it didn’t. |
