>Well, there was one, not very good image. I'm looking for the two together, at
or near closest approach. Anyone have a high quality image that shows both
clearly? I suppose this is nearly impossible since HB is mag. -1 and M31 is
mag. 6.
Nothing's impossible ;) I've got one, but you're probably after something
fancier (that's why I didn't speak up earlier)... I have a nice camera and
tripod shot, of me out in 'Nanook of the North' attire on the shores of the
frozen Ottawa River, pointing up at both Hale-Bopp and M31 in the sky, both of
which are visible.... I just mailed it off to a friend for possible inclusion in
one of our Canadian magazines, but could send you a copy of it when I get it
back, if you're really desperate for a shot.... (I may not get it back for a
little while.)
