Part of my obsession with night photography developed into a love for astrophotography, which developed further into an obsession with observing and photographing comets. I certainly do not have the ability to discover these fascinating travelling bodies. However, once discovered by others, they pose a challenge to observe and photograph even with instructions available on the internet. It is this challenge, along with knowing you are seeing a celestial body that may not return for tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of years, that draws me to them.
With the exception of comet Hale-Bopp from the late 1990s, these were all taken with digital cameras.
