Three series of ccd-images of comet Hale-Bopp were made at the prime focus of a Celestron C11 at 19:53 UT. Exp. times were 8, 4, 2 seconds. Each image was combined of 7 individual exposures. In this hazy night only image processing tricks could bring out the the wavy structure in the vicinity of the comets core. Compare the results to one of the sharpest views I found so far.
