Comet HYAKUTAKE


On January 1996, a Japanese amateur astronomer discovered a new comet with his 10" diameter binoculars which was named : Comet Hyakutake.
Although I don't own a proper driving system to take astronomy pictures yet, nevertheless I tried taking some pictures of this new comet between February to April 1996.

These pictures were taken with a CANON AE1 PROGRAM camera using KODAK Gold Plus ASA 100 film. Relating to the optical elements, I used a 35-70 Zoom as well as the 50mm normal objetive .
The exposure times ranged from 2 to 5 minutes using a hand track driving system.
