HI Suzy and all,
FWIW, I started astrophotography during the 1986 apparition of Halley's Comet, so by the time that SN1987A went bang, i only had about 12 months of practice in the dark old days of film....

So, this was quite an exciting event to be able to photograph, but the result was disappointing.

11 minutes on 400ISO Ektachrome, 200mm F3.5 telephoto lens from Redland Bay near Brisbane on 27 February 1987.
