| "HALE BOPP-SET"
The shining lines in this photograph show the great
variety of colours of the stars. The thicker line is the Hale Bopp comet and the
way covered by the tail can be seen as a diffuse light. In this case the
circumpolaris is directed to the West, and therefore the lines look to be
straight. The angle between the lines and the horizon (62º) shows the
latitude of the place (90º-62º=28º). If this picture had been
taken from the Ecuador, the lines should be at right angles to the horizon, and
if it had been taken from the Poles, the lines should be parallel to the
horizon.
