I've labeled the primary stars of Perseus and the Pleiades. This photo was scanned at a poor 75 dpi, so the sharpness of the Fuji Super G is not present here. Closeup of Hale-Bopp and tail. This image shows the comet in the best exposure I could attain, given the streetlight problem just below the comet. Algol is the brightest white star on the left edge of the image.
North is approximately up.
The Fuji Super G film used to take this exposure did not capture the faint, blue ion tail to the left of the main tail. Hale-Bopp in Perseus. I didn't want to haul my DS-10 all the way there just for the clock drive that night. The dust tail is fairly clear in this image, but the faint blue ion-tail eludes me still with Fuji Super G 800 film. Of course, I haven't seen the newly reported sodium tail, nor for that matter, the starship allegedly following the comet.
