Variations in the orbit of comets in the outer solar system can cause periodic comets to appear earlier or later than anticipated. We expect Halley's Comet to appear again in 2061. I don't believe that it would be accurate to narrow it down much further.

Further, the telescopes of 2060 are likely to be orders of magnitude better than the current Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes. It is possible that astronomers 50 years from now will be able to detect the comet well in advance of it becoming a naked-eye object.

What is the major difference between Comet Hyakutake and Halleys comet?

Halley's Comet was a periodic comet; it returns to the inner system every 76 years. Hale-Bopp is a very long-period comet; it may have been last seen in 2215 BC. That may have been Hale-Bopp's first approach to the Sun; its orbit was likely altered by close brushes with Jupiter then, and again during its last pass in 1997. Hale-Bopp's next appearance may be in or around the year 4530 AD.
