Has anyone observed Halley's Comet since it passed behind 
Sun? (Observations from space probes don't count)

Monday (3/10) morning at around 4:00am a group of us went to the other
side of the mountains (we have mountains in the east here) to look for
Halley.  It was there and looking food.  It almost filled the binocular
field.  Just like the classic pictures of comets.  Great!!!  I was
pleased.  Now out to get some film to capture it.

Also saw several meteors; one looked like it was trying to shoot down
the comet...
