My "artist's conception" from sketch on March 25, 1996, 1:30 am. Naked eye view from Sly Park, Ca. - naked eye limiting Magnitude= 6.0 +. Tail extended past 60 degrees w/o averted vision!! Tremendous detail visible throughout the tail. Unbelievable! (Image viewing tip: turn the brightness of your monitor so that the trees at the bottom just become visible.)
