| Photographed by Charles Coffey & Greg Babcock (me). I was the timer, Charles did the work. The photograph was from Blanton Road, near the KVAL TV drive-way near Eugene, Oregon. The exposure is 5 minutes using 400 iso Kodak Tri-X film. Taken through a 200mm f/4 Telephoto Lens mounted on a Classic orange tube, 8 inch Celestron. Though this comet was considered a "bust" compared to expectations, we got many good looks and this image was one the best taken of it. | ||||||||||
