Scientific paper

Emission-band and continuum data were obtained of Comet Halley with a CCD camera system at the Perth Observatory during the post-perihelion phase. The image processing techniques which were applied and which revealed jets in the CN band are described. The jets had a spiral shape due to nucleus rotation at a rate which was not precisely determined. Estimates are made of the FWHM and half-width half-maximum spatial extent of the jets. Possible parent molecules of the CN jets are discussed.
