Apparently, exploding comet 17P/Holmes is something special.  :o

Going to take a look outside and see if I can locate it.

High cloud has just rolled in. So, was it a good sight? To quote Patrick Moore, "We simply don't know".  ;) ;D

Apparently so. If you have a digital camera and a tripod (no, please, don't go there!), you could set it on a 30 second exposure and see what you get. However it is a naked-eye object. I would be more help if it wasn't for this high cloud that's rolled in.  :y
