• The November 3rd, 1982 I located to the comet Halley, was the most important landmark for my, as much to speak of the comet Halley and this time happened enough far from our planet. The best views were obtained from the South hemisphere, sure I living in the north located it in the constellation of Taurus near the Pleiads, memory that was one night cold already of autumn and sheltered well I could enjoy the views of the comet, was worth the trouble to pass cold.
