Just shows how much the galaxy has changed in 31 years

The only astro-photo I took back then was of a solar eclipse, taken by placing a dry gum-leaf at the primary focus of my hand-made 6". The one second F/8 exposure punched a nice half-inch crescent-shaped hole in the leaf and made a nice perfume. Didn't need developing, but the fixer bath was the swimming pool. Betimes you were photographing galaxies!
