Comet Ikeya - Zhang

Comet Ikeya-Zhang visited in early 2002. These images were taken near to maximum brightness over a week or so. Locations range from my back yard to Folkestone in Kent looking out accross the Romney Marsh. Poor weather and light pol;ution conspired to make really long exposures difficult, but some results were obtained.
