not bring It back to our solar system for anywhere between and 82 years viewers will be presented with a once In a lifetime photo op portunity for a few days in January A camera with a lens of or faster and which can be set up for time exposures with high speed film is a must Set the camera on a tripod or other firm camera support and don t forget to use a shutter cable release to eliminate as much movement and vibration as possible Try exposures ranging from 160 second to one or possible wo minutes with high speed film The reason for this procedure is that it is sometimes difficult for astronomers to predict precisely how bright a comet might be or how Its appearance might change Remember that because of the earth s rotation long exposures will cause background stars in your pictures to trail or streak Also exposures longer than two minutes will cause the head of the comet toblur In any event you II have time to experiment Focus your camera on In openlhelens tolls widest setting and aim at the comet To add dimension and Interest to your comet photographs try to include silhouettes of the surrounding landscape such as trees low buildings hills etc To improve chances of success in arriving at whatever Is the correct exposure for a given time bracket your exposures so that you have a compleic series to work from With on ft or faster lens on your camera you can try exposures at 160 t 1 IS 1 14 and I 2 second and also longer exposures of 15ana30seconds and 1 Hi 1 and minutes Exposures will vary as the comet moves closer to the sun and becomes brighter and then as it moves away from the sun and becomes dimmer Ex posurc will also depend on local atmospheric conditions when take your pictures on light in the sky from twilight moonlight and cily lights and on the equip ment you use Best results can be obtained on dark moonless nights away from city lights when the skv is clear and free from atmospheric haze The entire comet head to tail can be satisfactorily imaged through a normal focus length lens But the head of the comet will be very small in the film frame In this case a lens of moderate focal length con be used In obtain a larger image So it your camera accepts in lerchangeable lenses consider using an 85 or lens Such a lens will give you a larger head withoul cutting off loo much of the tail For this once in a lifetime occasslnn Kodak of

Scientists lave noted that to date the comet tall appears to be composed principally of dusl more gaseous lail would produce a much brighter tail The tail which will extend as uch as million miles in length Is currently about seven million miles long its point Kohoutek v II pass within million miles from and 13 million miles from the sun The comet can now be seen shortly before sunrise with any optical magnification unit such as binoculars or a small telescope However the best viewing period is yet to come Brian of the Smithsonian Aslrophysfcal feels thai most convenient time for viewing will be in early evening between January 1018 1974 At that time Ihe full moan will not visible and the comet should I avc come up well above the horizon and will probably be as bright as the planet
