Great images Laurie.

I remember both events well. My home built 40cm Dob was not long completed and I had excellent views of the Jupiter impacts. I did take some video and made vidcaps but can't find the images of it now.

SN1987A was also quite spectacular to look at through my 5 inch F3.6 "Cometcatcher" paired with the Tarantula nebula. I took some rather poor black and white pics that were disappointing.

In this day and age I can just imagine the flood of high quality pics coming from such events.
