Images taken on May 29, 1996 Series of narrow-band filter images were taken in the morning of 1996 May 29 from the Crni Vrh Observatory in very good conditions. Using the logarithmic display, the coma shows clockwise spiral structure. The initial burst of material starts from the central condensation at PA ~0o, continues in clockwise direction and finally broaden to ~20' fan-like tail, about 30' long in PA ~270o. |

False-color CCD image of comet Hale-Bopp, taken on 1996 May 29.063UT (center), with the 20-cm, f/2 Baker-Schmidt camera, Wright CCD and dust continuum filter,
centered at 647nm (FWHM=10nm). Exposure time was 10 minutes. The frame field of view is 1.3x1.1 deg. Logarithmic scale was used for better reproduction of inner
coma details.

The first image taken after the comet conjuction. Comet Hale-Bopp was just rising above the pines and the image was taken as the dawn started on 1996 Mar. 1 with the 20-cm,
f/2 Baker-Schmidt camera, ST-6 CCD and V filter. Exposure time was 180s, starting at 4:22:31UT.
