Comet Hale Bopp early 1997 from Oman. You can clearly see the double
tail. (Leica RE with 135mm)
In 1996 I had also a good view of comet Hyakutake due to my latitude of
23 North. Unfortunately I did not take pictures.
The first comet I even saw was comet West in 1976. It was very
impressive.
In 2005 I watched comet Macholz, form Assen (Netherlands) both with a
small 10x25 binoculars and naked eye.
On 24 October 2006 I used my 7x42 binoculars to observe comet Swan
(C/2006 M4) just after it brightened to magnitude 4.5. A few days later
(29 Oct) the comet could be viewed together with M13.
During November 2007 I observed comet Holmes several times with my Trinovid 7x42. The
comet was also visible with the naked eye.
