I know this sounds funny but naming a Comet "Holmes" just sounds strange to me.

When I was out the other evening for the meteor shower, I noticed a fuzzy object in the constellation Perseus. It was Holmes. Tonight I could make it out with the naked eye (and my eyes are not that good). Folks should take a look. It's pretty impressive.

Heh, I missed this thread first time around. My wife's and my favorite obscure object is the asteroid "Oldfield." We've spent many evenings looking hard, and many months in anticipation for the next try, but we've never actually seen it.
