Comet Hale-Bopp now in Orion on the 26th May 1997 at 6.28 pm (AEST). The Comet is still a naked eye object but best viewed with binoculars, this photo is as close to how you see it in a pair of 10x50 binoculars. Photo taken at River Reserve Park at Ashmore on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. |

Observer: Alex Gibbs, Ken Matesich
Location:Tuscon Mountain Park, Arizona Optics:8 inch f/10 SCT at prime focus. Exposure: 1 minute on Fuji SG+ 800, pushed 1 stop. Hale-Bopp was barely visible for 20 minutes, during twilight, before it set. In this shot it is only 4.5 degrees above the horizon. North is to the right and the horizon is below the 5.5 magnitude star (35 Orion). Image cropped to about .5 by .36 degrees. Average sky color was digitally subtracted. Since the comet was so low it lost blue and appeared somewhat orange. Vertical band is from processing or emulsion. Equal gamma correction on all colors. |
