During the period immediately before and after the European, Russian, and Japanese spacecraft encounters with Comet Halley in early March 1986, sequences of ground-based electronic images of the comet, obtained at Table Mountain Observatory (TMO), CA, were transmitted via the Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN) to the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), and to University College London (UCL). During the 48-h period when the European Space Agency spacecraft Giotto was within the extended coma of Comet Halley, the ground-based images revealed that the comet displayed several spectacular near-nuclear and large-scale features. The TMO images provided a format for the interpretation of the unique in situ results obtained during the closest of the five spacecraft encounters with Comet Halley.
