Don't know if any of you have come across this yet: someone sent it to me earlier by email, so I don't who to credit it to.

Love those type of shots guys. I remember trying to replicate the catching of a comet picture with my missus but she just couldnt stay still, was using emulsion too so by the time the film was processed it was too late to make any further attempts. Just looked for the original but couldn't find it. Any of you attempt this or know where i could find the original. ?

I would have done it by flashing the person on the B setting then getting them to move away for a long exposure of the comet.
Your film is in the box under the baby cloths next to the books in the attic on the left.

Probably right about the film pete, i just ckecked and have a roll of kodak gold from 2000. !!!
The shot i was talking about was in one of the astronomy magazines and was either hale-bopp or hyakutake.
