The Southern Hemisphere, early next year, I believe.  Don't expect
too much even so; this is going to be one of the poorest appearances
of Halley's Comet in the last several thousand years, from our point
of view.  It will be more-or-less on the other side of the sun during
most of this appearance.  What rotten luck.

Actually, the *best* place to view the comet from would probably be
the Giotto probe.  But I don't think ESA would accept hitchhikers...
