Classic Comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) Photos

[marion165]

While reviewing past APOD photos, I came across many great photographs of Comet Hale-Bopp. I can remember many nights back in 1997 loading rolls of film in my camera and spending quite a few nights under the stars photographing this great comet. It has been some time since we have experienced a really bright comet (especially in the Northern hemisphere). I thought it would be a great idea to start a tread to post our classic Comet Hale-Bopp photos. I will start the thread off with a couple of my own favorites, enjoy!
