This image of Hyakutake was taken from the skirts of Fujiyama, Tuesday night, March 26, with a 300mm f2.8 Tamron telephoto lens mounted on a Nikon F2 atop a telescope and guided on the comet for a 10 minutes exposure.
In this image, background stars are shown as tracks of light, because the photograph was guided on the comet, which was moving with respect to the sky.
