Ah jeez Ray that's awful.
My pics are scattered everywhere. I don't even know where many of them are myself. Most of these colour ones are in one album. These are print size by the way.
M8 and M20 with a 6 inch F5 Newtonian, 20 minutes on Fuji 800. No coma corrector for it back then. I only got one last month!
Many of these film pics have a story and Comet Hyakutake has one too. See, it was my all time favourite comet. Taken in March 1996 through a 400mm F5.6 Tokina telephoto, Fuji 800 20 minutes exposure. As newbies might not be aware, back in the film days we tracked manually (I still do) with a guidescope or OAG. Comets move fast near close approach to Earth. Not a problem now, just take a bunch of 30 second subs and stack them. Not back then! If the comet had a bright enough nucleus we could place it in the cross hairs of the illuminated reticle eyepiece and very carefully track on it. That's what I did for this comet, with a home made crosshair glued onto an old binocular eyepiece, placed into a 68mm guidescope. I only recently bought a genuine motor drive for that mount. Back then I used a geared tape recorder motor varied in speed with a variable potentiometer, with the 6" scope precariously balancing on an old Tasco mount that came with an 80mm refractor. DEC corrections were done with a steady hand via a slow motion control! How did I ever get this pic?
It has only turned out to be my favourite comet pic of all time!
