Scientific paper

Attempted detection of periodic variations in brightness of the comet Encke is described. Viewing problems due to the position, faintness, and rate of motion of the comet are discussed. The failure of attempts to perform photoelectric photometry and CCD imaging is described. Photometric observations of the prototype Earth crosser, (1862) Apollo, are described and a photoelectric light curve of observations made during a four-hour period is presented.
