Comet Hale-Bopp 1995 O1

October 14th, 1995 from Kitt Peak Arizona.

The Steward Observatory 90" f/9 RC Reflector was used to take this 60 second unfiltered and unprocessed CCD frame on a loral 2k x 2k chip binned 3x3. The exposure was started at 01:58:23 UT on October 14, 1995. The field of view is 5 x 5 arcminutes. False color was used to better bring out the coma and its shape.
