DEATH OF A COMET: LINEAR BLOWN APART

We observed Linear from Fox Park, WY Friday evening, and I can only describe it as the "Cheshire Comet": I've seen a comet without a tail before, but never a tail without a comet! It was barely detectable in 7x35 binoculars, a faint smudge in an 8" DK cass (a lovely scope) and quite spectacular in a 17.5".
