Description

This is a digital scan of the only photo I have left of comet Hale-Bopp. I took this photo in April of 1997 with a manual film camera. I used a cable release and took a 30 second exposure with a 28mm lens at f2.8 on a Canon AE-1. I wanted to get this in the digital world just incase something happened to the print. This, along with Comet Hyakutake in 1995 are my first two astro photos ever taken. I had no idea how to counter act the spinning Earth back the, so I did the best I could. Anybody from the Vancouver Island, I took this photo on the beach at Esquimalt Lagoon. If I only had the equipment and know how I have now, this could have been a stunning image!
