Just a footnote to my color photo, I have spent all of this evening calculating it's position in relation to Stellarium and Starry Night and I have deduced that it was taken on 9th March 1986 0200hrs AEDT (8th March 1500 UT). It's coordinates are: RA: 20 14.5, DEC: -19 12.5. The star HIP99782 is directly under the head of the comet and about 1/2 degree from Sigma Capricornus. Phew! Now for my other 4 images and 8 sketches from January '86 I located today.
