A multi-national campaign took place at the
Observatorio del
Roque de Los Muchachos to study the comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) during
the period April-May 1997.
As part of these observations images were obtained using all three of
the
ING's telescopes,
namely the
4.2m-William Herschel Telescope
(WHT), the
2.5m-Isaac Newton Telescope
(INT) and the
1.0m-Jacobus
Kapteyn Telescope (JKT), and CoCAM, the wide field imaging facility of
ING.
This page was updated on a regular basis to provide news and pictures of the
comet.
