Scientific paper

Techniques used for the acquisition and reduction of imaging data for astrometric positions of comet Halley at Kitt Peak National Observatory are described. These techniques are applicable to the comet while it is fainter than magnitude V approximately 21. They yield positions that are uncertain by + or - 0.9 arcsec. The reliability and consistency of the positions already derived could be improved by as much as a factor of four in a more ambitious astrometric program.
