[APML] Comet Hale-Bopp core reprocessed

[John Laborde <jlaborde@ix.netcom.com>]

I was taking a break from processing last months images which are 
proving to be very frustrating. I dug back into my film archive to find 
stuff  that might be a good candidates for reprocessing.
I came across a sequence of comet Hale-Bopp shots that I never scanned 
or digitally processed. These images were before my Photoshop days and 
proved to be too difficult to stack properly using an enlarger. The 
sequence was taken with a Nikon F3 on a 22" f/7.5 RC telescope. The film 
was PPF-400. The image is a composite of 10 exposures ranging from 120 
sec to 15 sec. The pinwheel of expelled gasses is clearly visible as the 
nucleus rotates. This was also visible by eye through the telescope and 
over time you can see the nucleus rotate.
