Scientific paper

Photographic observations of Comet West 1975n from a high altitude site are reported. A small value of the absolute magnitude of the Comet 1.5 d after perihelion passage is deduced. Morphological characteristics of the strongly structured dust tail are obtained, using a statistical analysis based on the optical data processing of a transparency. The deduced two-dimensional power spectrum is considered. The temporal behavior of the main features of the tail is discussed using several selected pictures.
