Description

A one minute exposure of Halley's Comet taken with a 50mm lens on TRI-X 400 ISO speed black & white film. That's my head in the right of the frame. The view is facing southeast when Comet Halley was an early morning object. I had the camera mounted on the telescope to track the stars. The glow is from the city of Kaplan, La.
