The theory of the motion of Halley Comet [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 The theory of the motion of Halley comet has been built using ground optical positional observations of 1682, 1759, 1835, 1910 and 1982–84. The orbital elements of the comet and two coefficients characterizing non-gravitational perturbations were determined precisely as a result of the statistical treatment of the observations.

2005–2010 Multiwavelength Campaing of OJ287
Acta Polytechnica, 2011 The light curve of quasar OJ287 extends from 1891 up today without major gaps. This is partly due to extensive studies of historical plate archives by Rene Hudec and associates, and partly due to several observing campaigns in recent times.

The apparition of Comet Halley represents a unique opportunity for coordinated programs because this is the only predictable comet which is routinely bright enough for the many observational ...

The Past Orbit of Halley's Comet [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1972 I have re-examined the records in the Chinese“Standard Histories”on this famous object, including one set of relatively precise observations made in the year 837 A.D., which has only recently become available in an English translation (Ho 1962). This set, when properly interpreted, consists of the comet’s right ascension on 10 specified dates, given to
