All Focused On The Comet

This Celestron 60mm refractor telescope provided extra magnification power for the viewing of the comet Hale-Bopp (center) hanging low in the northwest sky at 8:00 PM on March 19, 1997. This view looks out over the grounds of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The constellation Cassiopeia is seen above the comet at top. The bright star to the left of Hale-Bopp is Mirach, in the constellation Andromeda.
