Interesting you should mention Comet Halley as the mount I used for this (& almost all my images) is the trusty old Vixen SP I purchased back in 1985 so that I could take pictures of Comet Halley! Sadly I've lost access to the original slides of the ones I took (I still have some prints) and 20-odd years of not doing much astro means I virtually went back to being a beginner.
Yes, t'was amazing how much astro stuff got sold around that time and how many people took up astro endeavours You could photograph those prints so you had a digital version..?

Mike
