Carlton, as I have mentioned to one or two interested people here over the
years, I have nothing but about half a dozen 6x4 prints left. We moved house
in 2008, and my wife and I had so many prints, slides, albums and negatives,
that we filled a large suitcase with them. Unfortunately we got burgled, and
all the b......s took was the case and a towel and some soap, missing $150
sitting on top of the fridge. The real tragedy of it was not the loss of my astro pics, but the only pic my wife had of her mother who had died when my wife was 14, and also many hundreds of slides and prints from my travels around
the world when I was in the R.A.F. and later when I was a Marine Engineer
in the British Merchant Navy. I have tried to make up for some of the loss since taking up digital, and have a small collection of a few hundred, some
of which you have seen here. If you want to see what can be achieved with
film, try and find some of the film images taken by Tony and Daphne Hallas.
One of their pics of M31 is stunning. I tried to find it recently, but maybe they have taken down their film images.
