Scientific paper

Observations using a fast CCD and custom built video data acquisition system at the Nasmyth focus of a 2.3 m telescope produced digitized images of Comet Halley. Nightly variations in inner coma brightness and shape are noted. On March 25, 1986, (UT), an overall brightening and antisunward jet was recorded continuously over several hours and is shown to be consistent with the increased activity recorded just prior to these observations. The outburst and resulting jet produced a large integrated intensity increase, and the rotation rate is estimated from the antisunward jet.
