Images from in front of my house.


Note: If these pictures look "grainy" and/or the levels seem to change in "steps" it may be your browser. Some installations of IE and NN give poor renditions. Try saving the images to disk (right click|Save as) and then close your browser and view with LviewPro, PaintShopPro etc.
Hale-Bopp Mar 8, 1997 05:41AM EST 70mm, f/8, 12 sec
This image was taken from the street in front of my house March 8, 1997, 05:41 AM. It is a 12 sec exposure with a 70mm telephoto lens at f/8 attached to an ST-8 CCD camera (2x2 averaging). Unfortunately, dawn was already well advanced as can be seen by the sky background. Thanks are due to UF Rosemary Hill Observatory engineer John Baker for help putting together the home brew lens adaptor.
