It seems that the discussion of the impact probability of P/Swift-Tuttle 
in 2126 has been beaten to death in an amazingly short time. Perhaps a
more interesting question (at least until a better orbit is obtained
some years hence) is what kind of show it will put on in 2126. Any
idea of what the likely magnitude and observed tail length would be?
Would it rank as one of the closest large comets? Any comparison to
Halley in the early part of this century?
