We briefly present the status of digitization and astrophysical use of the Hewitt Camera Archive, UK. These wide‐field images, so far little used for astrophysical work, cover both northern as well as southern sky down to limiting mag 13. We also discuss the potential of photographic images taken by satellite tracking cameras for recent astrophysics in general.
