In addition he pioneered astronomical photography in New Zealand, provided his home town of Thames with a time service, and was an avid popularizer of astronomy. Grigg is best remembered internationally for his discovery of Comet P/Grigg-Skjellerup, which has one of the shortest periods of any known comet.
