Ken, I've taken your image (photo 1) and I've matched it to mine (photo 2). I've also added some HIP star designations and a couple of asterisms to help. Also your photo was "back to front" (I needed to flip it). Mine was taken on the 9th March, so I'll say yours was taken one day later.
I found that Halley's position in both Sky Safari and Stellarium were different.
I hope this is helpful for you.
I also have 4 B&W prints I need to identify Halley's position. I know they were taken prior to perihelion but that's about it. A lesson in recording the date and time, I guess.

Yeh you right there about the recording back then but something we really don't have to think about now as long as the clock in your camera and computer are correct it happens automatically for you.
Oh By the way the image you compared was actually Leons shot not mine.
Gaurantee there's a lot more out there.
