My next great comet came in 1996 when Comet Hyakutake passed very close to Earth in March of that year. This time I had a camera and was fortunate to capture a few pics.
Here is a wide 50mm shot taken on the final morning before it dropped out of view as it rounded the sun.

That's a beatiful shot.
Honestly after watching "Don't Look Up" I find it both beautiful and oddly terrifying, especially since it's a respectable 4km according to Wikipedia.
