I did the attached image a couple of years ago. It is nothing but a facade
with nothing behind the walls shown. I soon after accidentally deleted the
code for the scene. To this day it really bugs me that I can't go back and
finish the building so that it can be seen from any angle.

Yeah, that's not good to not have the pov script to go along with a image.
Unfinished is one thing... can't finish, a whole other matter.
Looks like you could start this over easily enough, just by following it
like a 3D blueprint.
I like castle type stuff.

More like this one. I know it's a tiny image, just still ferreting this
thing out.

You'll never stop kicking yourself...

Ooh, that's nice, Bob. I like the angle of the comet's path in
relation to the sun, too.

Yeah, I had seen that one after your first reply when looking for comet
pictures to see how I was doing with my ray traced one. Surprisingly, most
pictures I found were black and white and not too great.
Hey, you want to see a fantastic photograph of a comet though?

Spectacular image of Hale-Bopp. I just now found it. I was thinking before
that only the dust tail could appear to swirl about from changes in the
ejection of material from the nucleus as it rotated to show a different side
to the sun. Thought the ion tails of comets were generally straight and
featureless. Boy was I wrong.
I'll probably try to mimic this Hale-Bopp photo most of all, it's so
visually appealing. Just need to get a idea of what's in that saturated
white area the time exposure cleared out. I saw Hale-Bopp through a small
4" scope so I guess it wasn't clumpy but did have some directional features
in the coma area. I looked at some of those Halley space probe pictures
recently too; very fuzzy stuff. Maybe I'll just see what happens.

Splendid pictures of a splendid comet.
I remember my last sight of it: casually looking up one evening in San
Francisco, well after maximum. Perhaps it was self-delusion but I still
saw a hint of the double tail.
Hm, and I don't remember the total eclipse of ~1979 (for which I
travelled from Illinois to Winnipeg) at all.
