The best time to have been an amateur astronomer interested in comets
was between 1957 and 1976, when Great Comets were literally
commonplace, with at least half a dozen appearing in the short span of
just 20 years! In fact, it was the most prolific period for such
objects in recorded history

Is there a chart somewhere on the net with would graphically shows the
number and/or magnitudes of observable comets by year - so I could get
a feel for the great comet windows? - Canopus56
