A Cookbook 245 CCD was used without the low noise modification. A Meade 8" f/6.3 LX200 was used for the exposure with no guiding during the exposures. The exposures were four minutes each. For each image, a dark field was subtracted and a flat correction applied. The images were then median filtered and then the pixels were made square. A log enhancement was applied to each of the images.

This image was obtained from Kitt Peak using the Steward Observatory 90 Inch Telescope. A Loral 2kx2k CCD was exposed for 30 seconds while the telescope tracked the comet. Field of view is approximately 4 x 4 arcminutes.

R-band (red) image (on the left) University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter telescope. The field shown is 7 x 7 arcmin; exposure time was 60 seconds. In a deep stretch of this same image (on the right), the comet is seen to extend almost to the edge of the CCD field.

Color image using the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter telescope. The field is the same as shown in the R-band image above, and the image was carefully color calibrated so that a solar type star would appear white. In this image, the comet is not a colorful object - its coma has a color similar to (but slightly redder than) the color of the Sun. Since the comet moved slightly between the red, green, and blue exposures which make up this image, the background stars do not register exactly.

The comet was imaged by the JKT using exposures of 250, 250 and 600 seconds, with V, R and B filters. The comet moved significantly during the course of the exposures. The three images obtained have therefore been combined in two ways. In the first the comet is exactly registered causing the stars to blur and in the second image the stars are registered causing the comet to blur. The field of view is 3.5 arc mins on the side which, at the distance of the comet of 560 million miles, corresponds to 575 000 miles, about the diameter of the moon's orbit about the earth

The tricolour image was made using the ANU 1.0m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. The yellow colour of the coma on the North side of the comet indicates it is composed of dust and is shining by reflected sunlight. North is to the right.
