Abstract
The overall long-term behaviour of the total visual coma brightness of P/Halley during October 1982 – June 1986 is presented. The observations used in this study consist of the raw total magnitude data collected from the International Astronomical Union Circulars. We have compared the observed light curve with the predicted one.
