[APML] Lunar Eclipse and Comet Bradfield

["Eddie Guscott" <eddie.guscott@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hello All

Thought I'd post 2 recent film images.

The Lunar Eclipse from last evening May 4th from southern England, althought
it was quite cloudy (until after the eclipse !!) some gaps in the clouds did
allow for a few pictures. Unfortunately nothing wide field, just through the
telescope - 12 seconds on Provia 400F / 5" F6 refractor:

And I just processed an image of Comet Bradfield frrom the morning of 24th
April. This was very difficult that morning as comet was very very low and
low cloud also hampered.
Anyway, it can JUST be seen in bottom left of frame. 4 x 30 seconds on
Provia 400F through Zuiko 200mm F4 lens at F4, combined in Registar

If anybody knows how to improve the brightness of the comet against the
background, I'm all ears :-)
