I made the effort to see this last night with Mrs PC. Clouds thwarted us but even so Mrs PC thought it was a romantic walk because it reminded her of when we were courting in the late 70s I'd point out various stars, constellations and planets.
I can remember staying up late to catch a glimpse of Comet West in '76 (I had to look up when it was), I've seen maybe 2 naked eye comets (just) since then.
