Description

Did you remember? One of the best comet ever seen, with the longest tail so far (except for McNaught, obviously).

This shot was taken in March 1996, with the good old Olympus OM1 and Kodak Panther 1600.

In these days, I rephotographed (did I spell right?) the slide with a Canon 350D and processed the raw frame in Photoshop.

The stars in the image are the tail of Ursa Major. Near Mizar is well visible a tail disconnection.

Enjoy.
