It was one of the best astronomy experiences we ever had. Sky's view of Hale-Bopp is on some NASA site on the Internet somewhere.

I need to dig up my negatives and digitally scan them. I have no prints left from Hale-Bopp at all, gave them all away. When I can get them scanned, I'll post some of my better stereo pairs. Hale-Bopp was an amazing experience for me. It got me up the canyon in the morning and out in the desert at dusk, day after day, for weeks, with my equatorial mount and piggy-back photo setup. All hand-guided, hundreds of one to five minute exposures. Sometimes with a 4-year-old kid in tow! On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:
That's really cool, Tyler! It certainly is hauling.
Chuck, our son Sky and I took sequences of photos of Hale-Bopp and a couple of those frames made a really great stereo.I should hunt it up sometime and post it.
