Nice shot Graham.

I remember Hale Bopp well. This one favoured the northern hemisphere as we didn't get the brilliant tail that was seen in the north. Still, it was the brightest comet I've seen. It's not often we see a comet that can compete with the Moon.

This was taken on May 5 1997 with Fuji 400 and a 135mm f2.8 lens.
