I also spotted Halley's last week. On Friday, November 8, with my
7X30 binoculars. I agree with the other person that it looked nothing
like a star. It looked much more like a Messier object, nebula, galaxy,
something fuzzy and dim with no point of light associated with it. If
I hadn't known exactly where to look, from charts in Astronomy Magazine,
I would never have found it. In the next week or so it will be travelling
between Taurus and the Pleiades.
