Scientific paper

Three high-resolution photographs of comet Halley were obtained on September 12, 1985 with the Schmidt telescope operated by CNRS and Liège University at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence on hypered Kodak 2415 film and exposure times of 1 hour. The best image (FWHM of 2 arcsec) has been analyzed in order to deduce the 2-dimensional distribution of light presumably scattered by the dust. Two jet-like structures are present in the near nuclear region, one extending outward up to 15 arcsec. The total absolute magnitude has also been determined.
