I didmy basic training on dartmoor when HB was going past in April 97. Instead of being tactical and alert on night patrols I spent the time staring upwards and tripping over!

I've got some bino sketches of HB and H which I'll post tomorrow once I've scanned them in.

Re IRAS: (Tetenterre) - I think the bright one was Iras-Araki-Alcock, wasn't it? I remember it because of the fuzziness and the angular velocity across the evening sky. Unfortunately, my Ma in Law was with us so I couldn't attempt a pic of it....

Did anyone get a good one?

This goes into my wistful "if only I had my time again...." list, along with the last transit of venus (but at least there's another of them soonish!)

At the time I wasnt interested in astonomy

Lets see if I can pop up one of my Hale-Bopp shots from 1997 . This was on Fuji Provia 400 ASA and scanned with my Epson 4490 Scanner . A G Y Haig Scotch Mount was used and an Agfa Isolette 85 mm f 4.5 lens . Shot from the back garden over the house roof.

I love comets (starting from Arend Roland and Mrkos in 1957 ). My next bright one was West on March 6 th 1976 and this on e from a lovely dark site above Glenridding in the Lakes . They are great both when bright and as a faint 'fuzzy'.

Indeed. H-B's period is ca. 3400y, IIRC.

My avatar is hale bop, taken from a local dark site, I can remember it like it was yesterday.

I remember that it was in the night sky for what seemed like ages after a while I was quite blase about it. It was very spectacular though.

We had great views of Hale-Bopp from the campsite at the south end of Lake Bala.

[Parus major]

I remember seeing it, very clearly with and without bino's. I was sixteen at the time and remember it "being ace".

Cool, thanks.

What medium format camera did you use? I love Provia film, its great for cross processing as well, I've used it quite a bit to do cross processed landscapes.

The camera in use was an Agfa Isolette 85 mm fl f 4.5 just like this fella Agfa Isolette and its still capable so long as I can acquire film . I have a 'big beast' to play with yet and that is a Kiev 60 ( 6 x 6 cm ) SLR with lenses from 30 mm (fisheye) to 250 mm focal length.

Have a look at Mikeyscope's photos on Flickr for medium format astrophotography http:/

/www.flickr.com/photos/30477065@N07/ . He is from Scotland (Border area) and is a Kielder Star Party regular . I think he was using a Tak EM200 mount the last time I saw him up there ( It must be at least 3 years since I've headed up to Kielder )
