		Still using zeta aquilae as a reference star, I estimated the comet's magnitude to range from 2.3 to 2.5.
		Does anyone know what magnitude Gamma Aquilae is? I don't have a star catalog handy and I don't want to go by the diameter of the star circles that's on my star chart.
		I definitely see Hale/Bopp to be a little brighter than Gamma Aquilae, but I'm not sure about Gamma's magnitude to make a more numerical judgement.
