    Notes: [Auszug] LOOKING at the comet last night from my garden at 11.25 p.m. I saw a large meteor pass nearly horizontally from a little east of north to within a short distance of the comet, rather above the head. It was as large as Venus when brilliant, but with a red or orange tinge. The motion was rather ...
