Shooting a Comet

This was my setup for shooting Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. One camera is

piggybacked to the telescope for a "wide angle" (80-200mm lens) shot

and another camera is attached to the rear of the telescope to capture

a more detailed close-up. I've included the exposure details with the

image. (This is a re-posting of an earlier upload--I darkened the sky

a bit). Thanks for viewing!
