Pardon the borders... what ya see is what ya get. This is a photo of another photo...... the upper portion has some sky reflection in it, as I rephotographed this mounted image outdoors.
>>>I have repeated most of the following from my earlier image of Hale-Bopp. <<<
This photo of comet Hale-Bopp is the hardest photo I have ever chased. The exposure is F3.5 and 16 minutes long on a home jury rigged, motorized tracker and with two rifle scopes used for alignment and guiding during the exposure. An absolute pain to use, but on my last attempt nailed it......... wind and clouds arrived for the next few weeks as the comet sank too low in the sky to be photographed again.
Congratulations Randy!!! I am impressed at the lengths you went through to get this image! And an impressively clear image this is! Even with the sky reflection which really isn't all that noticable. Congrats again, well done! :)
