Halley’s Comet as it appears in photographs taken by a member of the Canterbury Astronomical Society, Mr Graham Wolf, of Dunedin, on February 19. The photographs, which may be the first of Halley’s Comet to be taken this year, show the comet as it reappears from around the far side of the sun. The picture on the left shows the comet’s size and position on the horizon in relation to the cars on the ground. Mr Wolf took the photographs from the summit of Saddle Hill (473 metres).
