The enormous coma of comet Hale-Bopp
This photo is a "sum" of the three exposures that served as the basis for the colour image. It has been contrast-enhanced to show the truly enormous size of the comet's coma, over 3 arcmin across. The optical reflection from the bright star to the lower left was also enhanced by this process.
