Comet Stephen Oterma

On November 11th, 1980 Joe Manacci and I went to the Black River Astronomical Society's Louis J. Rick Observatory, on Garfield Road in Birmingham, Ohio, armed with a roll of Tri-x film and my trusty OM-1 Astrocamera to capture and photograph Comet Stephen Oterma. Below is a scan of my logbook entry. We observed the comet through the Mason Telescope, a 12.5" homemade classical Mak.
