Some Comet Halley images
I'll post these here in general chat rather than in the observational section, as it is not current event.
While I have been sorting out my old astro images stored in an old shoe box, I came across these ones. Four images taken of Comet Halley. My main issue is putting dates to these images, which I think will be near impossible. Dates and times are unknown, I do recall they were prime focus on a home-built 8-inch Newtonian taken in Gisborne, Victoria. So, yes, the quality is very poor compared to today's digital results, but remember these images were taken on Ilford B&W film, and self-developed in my boss's home built dark room! I scanned the prints onto the computer to end up with these here! I'm pretty proud of the fact that these are all my own work.
