re: (meteorobs) Hale-Bopp Question



Ron, 
	Unfortunatly there will be no meteor shower from Hale-Bopp. The orbit 
is too far away from the earth's orbit. Although it appeared close, it was 
in fact nearly 10 times further away than the much fainter comet Hyakutake 
of the previous year. It is a shame, since It seems quite clear that 
Hale-Bopp put out a prodigous amount of dust, and had we passed through it 
would have been a spectacular display.
