Scientific paper

Comet observations in the British Astronomical Association archives extend back to the mid 1940s. In total there are over 30,000 observations of some 400 comets, including returns of 80 periodic comets. Selected apparitions are used to illustrate various types of cometary light curve, including some that show linear behaviour with respect to perihelion as well as the majority, which show the more normal power law behaviour. Other examples are selected to show outbursts, or sudden fading. A few comets have been observed at several returns and the light curves of these comets are used to demonstrate any secular changes in their absolute magnitude. Detailed reports on the comets seen each year are published in the British Astronomical Association Journal.
