Comet Hale-Bopp. January 24, 1998.
30 minutes exposure. Kodak Ektachrome 400 film. 5" f/5 refractor at prime focus.
Of interest in this image is the hint of a faint line heading to the lower right of the comet, almost in the plane of the tail. This is an anti-tail that was widely observed as the Earth passed through the plane of the comet's orbit.
