Again, Hale-Bopp and the aurora, this time a shorter exposure with the same lens.
And again, note the peculiar lens cloud over the hill... yes the dark area in the photo is the top of a hill and not a problem with the photos :)
Photo of Hale-Bopp with a 50mm lens. Cassiopeia is the constellation above the tails of the comet, which are shown nicely in this photo.
Hale-Bopp riding low over the kiddies playpark.
Artistic shot of Hale-Bopp achieved during twilight with a short exposure - note the prominent jet near the nucleus.
Zoomed photograph of the head of the comet showing nice detail in the blue ion (gas) tail.
Nice artistic photo showing the curvature of the dust tail, and the straightness of the ion tail.
Nice shot showing the gas tail of Hale-Bopp going through the double cluster in Perseus (the double cluster is the fuzzy blob above the comet)!
The constellation Coma Berenices, taken again from Kielder.
This photo shows the area in the sky which contain Orion. The very bright star near the bottom of the photo is Sirius, the brightest star in the sky (other than the Sun of course)
And finally, this is a photo of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear.
To make the photos larger, simply click on them. Hope you enjoy them - I'll hopefully add more later.
