Comet
Hale-Bopp!
(225mm Schmidt Camera)
Astrophotography by Jay Robertson
I captured
this image from the dark skies of Fiddletown, Ca. U.S.A. on the
morning of March, 9th, 1997 with a 225mm, f/1.65, 5 1/2" Celestron Schmidt camera using Fujicolor Super G 800 plus. The exposure time was 2
1/2 minutes.

Special thanks to Bob Kestner for the
use of his property in Fiddletown.
