There’s gotta be an extension that does do a good job, right?

From the article:

According to EarthSky, this comet (known colloquially as Comet A3, for obvious reasons) is special, as it’s the brightest to cross our planet’s sky in 27 years, leading some to dub it the Comet of the Century.

We were able to see it with the naked eye. Our area has less light pollution than most, but still very much not a dark zone.

Wait long enough after sundown that it gets pretty dark. Even if its lower in the horizon, it’ll be easier to see if it’s still in your field of view.

I went to the beach with some friends to watch at sunset. We kept looking for it. Even using Stellarium and binoculars we didn’t see it and assumed it was too low to the horizon and obscured by haze.

It got dark. We figured we weren’t gonna see it. We started looking at the other stars/constellations as they became visible with advanced darkness. We were just about to pack up and go home when we realized we could plainly see it!

Good point. I guess that depends on a quality over quantity promise, which I guess would also fit op’s idea.

That would make business side incentives more aligned with the user side, but I could never see anything with a high barrier of entry accumulating enough users to actually be usable.

Maybe its free at first and as it grows in size and activity the cost goes up? That feels kinda sketchy
