Comet HALE-BOPP

Here is a selection of my better photos of Hale Bopp. These images have not been "computer processed", rather they look very much like the actual prints.

The "writing" was done by shining a red flashlight during the exposure,
and spelling HALE BOPP "in the air"... too bad I ran off the frame!
