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

Thanks Kevin
I don't think too many people were into astrophotography in those days-certainly not in my circle. And it was a bit of a black art-all I found I could do was read some books and experiment-there was nobody to ask. Now with the internet, there is easy access to information and help, and so many people are into AP!
