I had done the same when I re-vamped my web page. I put it on my astronomy Links page. 
Maybe there are some there you'd want to add. Some however only do CCD imaging.

I thought it would be a good idea, but then it does have a bad side as well. With all the 
concerns over copyright violations, now we're giving people an even better source for 
stealing images. However, I think the good that would come from it FAR outweighs any bad. 
We put our images up so that others can see them. A common source would really help 
spread the knowledge and experience to more people.

If you want, check the list I've been compiling over the past few months (which had been 
really for my own personal use and enjoyment) and see if there are any that would be 
appropriate to film only.
