Comet Halley. April 21, 1986.
10 minutes exposure, 3M 1000 slide film. 50mm f/1.8 Yachica camera.
By late April, the comet was starting to fade as it receeded from both the Earth and the Sun. In addition, the waxing Moon was making its presence felt, drowning out much of the fainter portions of the comet. Dark-sky photograph of the comet was now restricted to a short window between moonset and dawn.
