Found my astrophoto.

From memory - and we are talking almost 20yrs ago - this was with a 50mm lens, piggybacked onto a old Celestron C8. The school had some permanently mounted piers on concrete pads. I just put the camera onto the scope, opened the shutter and walked away for 20-30mins. The tracking and polar alignment must have been pretty close!!!!!

This was probably 200ASA print film. I'm still impressed by the detail in the scan of the negative.
