Aircraft passing right to left. 1000 Order hb31397a 4AM on March 15th. The two tails show their colors in this telephoto shot. Hale-Bopp was the first thing I saw this Spring. Another experience to remember.
Moonlight makes for interesting colors.
Hale-Bopp in full moonlight arrives on the outskirts of town. The eclipse of the moon was a disappointment. Clouds prevented us from viewing it until the very end and then only through a hazy sky. This multiple exposure was taken over a15 minute period. March 25th just before moonrise HB can be seen clearly in the richness of the Milky Way.
