An image of Hyakutake made at Public Observatory MIRA, Grimbergen, Belgium. Despite full moon, a hazy sky, and the comet standing a few degrees above the light pollution of Brussels (couldn't see him in a 20cm SCT), I did manage to capture him on CCD (just a 60 seconds shot before clouds came over). Almost the only clear moment for two weeks!
Celestron Comet Catcher (f=500mm, f/3.5), Cookbook CCD-camera.
4/3/96 (March 4, 1996), 2h50UT.
Worst image I ever made, but the comet is visible!
