I've seen both and Halley's wasn't anywhere near as big or bright as Hale-Bopp. In fact, Halley's comet is way down the list in term of magnitude (brightness) compared to a lot of other comets.
Halley's comet had a magnitude of 2.4. For reference, the lower the number, the higher the magnitude of brightness. Halley's Comet (1986): Magnitude 2.4 Hale-Bopp (1996): Magnitude -0.8 Comet McNaught (2007): Magnitude -5.5 Comet Ikeya-Seki (1965): Magnitude -10 |
