Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I was so very disappointed when Halley's came around. Midnight shift, Firelands hospital: step out back for a badly needed break and stand with Security, looking at a particular house's attic window to make sure the air-nav strobe on the hospital's roof could be seen reflecting from that black-glass mirror of an attic window. Look up a little and to the left, and among a particular branch's bifurcations, we saw Halley's Comet, a fuzzy star with a fuzzy little short tail. I was so very disappointed. My Granddad, rest his soul, saw Halley's when it blazed through the night sky, shedding enough light a man could read a newspaper by its radiance. I'll be searching the horizon for this newcomer, and if I can figure out how to run this fancy new electronic digital Nikon pitcher taken machine, I'll set a timed exposure and hope to catch it!
