This is a copy of a sketch my daughter Erin made of our family viewing Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997.
We saw Hale-Bopp frequently, and I always pointed it out when I could see it. As I looked thru old notes however, I did not seem to find more than one note that documented that I captured this comet. Perhaps it was too obvious - EVERYONE saw it. It remains a puzzle to me, since I had sketched earlier and MUCH less prominent comets.
My comet drawings are all rudimentary. Hopefully it can be seen that my details have gotten better over time, and that I continue to be progressively better. I also have included a few rough photos, although astrophotography is definitely not a strong point either. I hope you will enjoy reviewing my project.
