Scientific paper

Analysis of previous astrometric observations of comet Halley has allowed proficient observatories and observers to be identified. These observers are being encouraged, and in some cases supported, to continue their observing campaigns over the next year, and especially during the difficult observing period in early 1986. The accuracy of the observations is discussed and the previous estimates of the comet's position uncertainty at the time of encounter by Giotto are reviewed. An extrapolation of the frequency and quality of the observations through to March 1986 leads to an estimated uncertainty of 300 km in the comet's position in the target plane at the time of encounter.
