There are plenty of other places out there where you can find out more information about Hale-Bopp and other comets. We include here only a few of our favorites, which will in turn will provide you with even more links, etc., etc., etc. It's like a mini Halley Watch for any comets that might come along, gathering observations from amateurs all over the planet. For general background comet information, frequently asked questions, and a glossary of terms, we like the IAU Circulars page about Hale-Bopp. Gary Kronk maintains an interesting and informative chronology notebook of Hale-Bopp events.
Magazines are a great source of background information.
Dennis Ward, a frequent user of SBO, maintains a homepage where you can add your own observing log observations .
