Back to main Deep Impact/Tempel 1 page.

The image below was taken by Dennis Borgman, Tracy Knauss, and Barbara Wilson on the morning of 8-July-2000. The image is a five-minute exposure through a photometric R filter, using Rice University's ST-9 camera (on generous loan for the summer) in 2x2 binning mode, through the George Observatory's 36-inch telescope. North is at the top, West on the right in this 5 arc-minute square.
