I had gotten a small telescope for Christmas or birthday that year and it came with an infographic poster all about Halley's Comet and I was super excited, then I promptly forgot all about it until several months after it passed. I'll have my redemption in 2061!

I suspect it would've been a disappointing experience with that cheap little telescope. I have a telescope now that's like 6-10 times the size and it's still impossible to find the comets that come by. I'm sure by 2061 I'll have a much larger one with computer controlled alignment and whatnot...
