Comet Hyakutake. March 25, 1996.
10 minutes exposure, Fuji Super HG V 400 film. 50mm f/2 Nikkormat.
This image shows the head of the comet.
This image shows more of the tail of the comet.
The image below is an attempt at combining the 2 images. The tail reached nearly 90 degrees in length on this night. Also the huge size of the coma can be apreciated from the scale of the image.
Notice also just how far the disconnection event visible close the the coma on the previous night, has moved away from the coma.
