------ TERRACE BAY NEWS | em en Vol. I6 No. 45 November I4, I973 I5¢ Per Copy A ONCE-IN-A-THOUSAND LIFETIMES OPPORTUNITY From November I973 through January 1974, you'll be able to see and photograph a remark- able sight that will not be visible again from Earth for more than I000 lifetimes =-- the KOHOUTEK (pronounced Kah-HOE-tech) Comet. Its existence was discovered in Hamburg, West Germany, by Czech-born astronomer Lubos Kohoutek in March of this year. It is pre- dicted that the comet will be nearly as bright as a quarter moon. The head may be as much as half the size of the moon, and the tail is expected to stretch approximately one sixth of the distance across the sky. The best time for viewing and photographing the comet will be in early evening hours from January IOth through the 20th. During this period the moon will be in its waning phase, the brightness of the comet will still be very good, and elevation above the horizon will be great enough to make viewing easy. However, it will be visible to the naked eye in the predawn sky in late November, and is expected to be closest to the sun and at its brightest on December 28th. Many factors will determine the amount of exposure necessary to photograph the comet: its brightness and distance from the sun, atmospheric conditions, your location, etc. In addition the equipment and film you use will be a determining factor in whether or not you can obtain good photos. General speaking you will need a camera that has a fast lens (f/4 or faster) and is capable of making time exposures. Fast films are recommended.
