Comet Halley!! This is my first photo, the first of four black and white shots taken from New Gisborne, Victoria using an Olympus OM-10 and Ilford B&W film and developed in a mate's home darkroom (before I set my own up). Unfortunately that is where the information on the photos ends as I have no idea of their dates, times or exposure details. The only time frame I have to go by is that I clearly recall taking them in the late evening, which makes the comet's location prior to perihelion on February 9th 1986. I suspect it was around Nov-Dec 1985. I have a plan to match up the star field with Stellarium however I know this will be a near impossible task.
Bojan, nicely done. Yes I miss the days of film. So much that I have been thinking of investing in a film-only setup, just for old times sake.
Leon, the Olympus OM range hey? Best cameras IMO!
Matt, your images inspired me to buy a Lunt Ha60 direct from Lunt a couple of years ago!
