Given a life-long interest in both photography and astronomy it was perhaps inevitable that I would be drawn towards astro-photography. Inspired by the latest developments in digital photographic software used to process my own astronomical images, I applied some of the same processing software and techniques to salvage, wherever possible, the large number of very old damaged prints and negatives of the Harman family and their relatives. As some of the images date from over a century ago, it is hoped that this effort will enable them to be enjoyed in future years.
