Comet Hale-Bopp on April 12, 1997, with moonlight providing illumination. Shot from the Morant’s Curve viewpoint on the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park, Alberta. On Super G 400 film with a 28mm Nikkor lens at f/2.8 for about a 1.5 minute exposure and tracked so the landscape is blurred slightly. Re-processed in 2020.
Comet Hale-Bopp on April 5, 1997. Taken from home (my house!) with Plaubel Makina 6x7 camera with 80mm lens at f/4, with Fujichrome 400 slide film, 120-format. About 10 minute exposure. Tracked on sky so horizon lghts are streaked. Another telescope in the foreground taking 35mm film shots.
