About Beautiful Comet Hyakutake graced the northern hemisphere skies in late winter 1996. This comet was physically much smaller than Hale-Bopp but it passed much closer to Earth. As a result, it was a spectacular sight! Reaching magnitude 0 for a few days (overall as bright as the brightest stars), this comet had a long blue plasma tail that extended dozens of degrees across the sky. An unforgettable sight for those who saw it under dark skies.

This is a scan from an old print I had. Photo taken from my backyard in the suburbs of Ottawa, ON. About 5 min exposure tracked on the stars.

This has got to be the best comet photo I've ever seen on here, Pierre. This is fantastic work. I'd be interested in seeing the full-res version. Thanks for sharing! 7/7 and straight to favorites.
