Hale-Bopp comet. Image was processed using modern software on images at the time. Such processing simply wasn’t available in 1996!

Nova in Cassiopeia submitted by Bob Mizon.
I captured the nova in Cassiopeia this morning from Colehill at magnitude 5, so it’s now an easy binocular object.
Beta Cas (Caph), the right-hand star of the W of Cassiopeia, is at bottom left, with the nova marked with a line at the top, just below the cluster M52.
