My dear sainted grandmother saw the comet's visit in 1910 and she was also around for it in 1986. Unfortunately, it was not possible to see it that last time. I was really looking for it and never got one glimpse of Halley's. Thankfully I did get to see Hyakutaki in 1996 and Hale-Bopp the following year and was even able to take photographs of them at the time. Two comets a year apart and both visible with the naked eye. That kind of made up for missing Halley's Comet.
