Comet Hale-Bopp in March 1997

I found this printed image of comet Hale-Bopp among my old film astrophotographs. It was dubbed the Great Comet of 1997. You can see the coma, the bright dust tail, and the blue ion tail.

I don’t have image details other than it was taken sometime in March, 1997 with my Celestron Super C8+ telescope with Celestron f/6.3 focal reducer/corrector on Fuji 100 film.
