Martin Mobberley has recently scanned almost 400 comet prints taken from
the section's physical archive. These are now online in the digital archive:

These images are by many famous (and not so famous) observers including
the grreat American comet photographer, Alan McClure. There are many
images to browse but here are links to some of the most impressive sets:

My thanks to Martin for scanning all of these prints. That was a huge
task. There are many more in our physical archive for him to do when he
has recovered!

If, while browsing the archive, you find some images that you find
particularly interesting please post a link on this list along with a
description.
