Location: Interstate 8, looking East from a View Point about 40 miles East of San Diego.
Equipment: 50mm lens at f2.8 ,1000 Kodak Gold, 20sec exposure, unguided.

This was one of my first tries at photographing Comet Hyakutake.  The comet was in the Eastern sky on its way to a flyby of Polaris just a few weeks away.
