Comet Observations from Worth Hill Observatory
Most of my comet images are 160
sec exposures through the 50cm Newtonian with a Starlite Xpress CCD camera,
representing quite small fields of view. The brighter comets which display
long tails have been recorded with 28mm and 135mm camera lenses + CCD.
