Old Photos
Just a couple of images of significant astronomical events-perhaps some members might be interested. They are low resolution scans of photographic prints, so they are best viewed as thumbnails.
First one is comet Shoemaker-Levy impacts on Jupiter, taken using eyepiece projection on a 10" Meade Scmidt/Cassegrain-I no longer have the exposure details, but the film was Konica SRV3200.There are 2 impact sites at the top of the image.
The second is Supernova 1987A in the LMC-the supernova is the bright star in the bottom left corner. Meade S/C at f10, 40 minutes guided on Konica SRV3200 film
