Hale-Bopp April 1997 Taken through EasyGuider as it's an extended object. Photoshop for cropping and enlarging. Exposure time automatic, approx. a half second. |

Hyakutake April 1996 Taken as above, except for using black and white film. |

Hyakutake Light Pollution Wide angle shot. It is just possible to make out the long tail of the comet passing through the light pollution coming up from the bottom centre of the photo. The light pollution shows up much worse in the original, covering virtually the entire photo. Most of it removed in Photoshop. |
