I've just processed my 1st Tri-Color Hale-Bopp Image taken 2/13/97 From 10:42 Ut to 11:03 UT. Dark field corrected, and log scaled. Images were onto a Pictor 416CCD thru a 10" LX 200 @ F/3.3 Images ranged from(30 sec. Red) (2- 30 sec Green) (90 Sec. Blue). Images were shift & combine as Hale-Bopp has brightened considerably, and is blooming the chip in 10 sec exposures as compared to blooms at 25 sec. a few days ago!! I've included a link, with an excellent verbal and sketch description of the comet at the same time as this image, by David Fideler Comet Hale-Bopp: February 13, 1997

A 60 second image of Hale-Bopp taken 2/16/97 10:18 UT

Tri-Color Hale-Bopp Image taken 2/16/97 From 10:42 UT to 10:53 UT. Dark field corrected, and log scaled. Images were onto a Pictor 416CCD thru a 10" LX 200 @ F/3.3 Images ranged from(60 sec. Red) (120 sec Green) (120 Sec. Blue). Images were 7.5 secs. shift & combine.

Here is a link, to a composite series of 20 cumulative 3 sec. images of Hale-Bopp taken 2/25/97 from 10:25 to 10:29 UT. Dark frame corrected. 10" LX 200 @ f/3.3 Pictor 416 CCD published at JPL NASA
