| Comet C/1996 B2 Hyakutake |
| Taken 26 March 1996. This 5 minute exposure on Kodak Gold 100 was taken with a Minolta X-700 using a 50mm f1.7 lens and a 2x teleconverter. The negative was scanned onto a PhotoCD. This photo was hampered by significant sky glow from a half moon, the usual urban light pollution of southeastern Michigan, and an annoying motion activated flood light at the site. In spite of the 'fog' good color can be seen in the stars. Polaris is the brightest star in the image and is seen near the bottom center. |
