This photo was taken at approximately 4:56AM Alaska Standard Time March 20th, the exact moment of the vernal equinox. Hale-Bopp was the first thing I saw this Spring. Another experience to remember. |

Author: Dewey Vanderhoff Location: Cody, Wyoming Optics: 35mm f/2 lens used at 2.8 and Fuji Super G-800. This photo was taken about six miles south of Cody Wyoming . They were exposed for about 40 seconds (any longer than that and the stars start trailing noticeably). Who says you can't observe on bright moon nights? Thank God, cameras and modern film are less night blind and color blind than human eyes at low light levels... |
