Comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp photographed on the evening of 6/4/97 left with a 200 mm f/3.5 telephoto lens and right with a 50 mm f/2 piggyback the 0.3 m telescope of Grange Obs; both images have 5 minutes exposure on 1000 ISO color film.


hale-bopp 3







Comet C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp imaged at dawn of Feb. 8, 1997 with 0.3 m telescope and CCD camera SXL8 at the Newton focus (focal 1200mm, integration time 60 seconds).










The Orion nebula (M 42) as seen through the 0.3 m telescope with a 60 second exposure of CCD SXL8. Image taken in the early hours of Oct. 23, 1996.


M 8







The Lagoon nebula (M8) in Sagittarius obtained with the same instrument and exposure time as above in the evening of Jul. 26, 1997.


M 27







Dumbbell nebula (M 27) in Vulpecula registered with CCD SXL8 and 5 minutes exposure.


asteroid  1980 PA






The magn. 13 asteroid (3908) 1980 PA has left a clear trail on the image taken in Oct. 18, 1996 with the 0.3 m telescope and CCD SXL8 (5 minutes exposure starting from 21:18:00 U.T.). Its distance from Earth at that time was only 0.068 A.U. (about 10 millions km, 30 times the Moon's distance).
