Description

I took this picture on the morning of March 23, 1996. The setup was a Nikon FE-2 35mm film camera, a Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 telephoto lens and Kodak Royal Gold 1000 ISO film. All of the above was mounted atop my Celestron C-8 telescope and guided on the comet's central condensation by hand.
