The International Halley Watch Wide Field Network for Large-scale Phenomena (Niedner, Rahe and Brandt, 1982) will be receiving several thousand original or first copy images of the large scale structure of comet Halley. These images will be coming from over 90 telescopes at 70 different observatories around the world. Some but not all of the photographic material will have associated sensitometry. It is anticipated that since this network is looking for changes in the plasma tail structure most, if not all, observations will be made with unfiltered Kodak IIa0 emulsion. One of the major tasks of the network will be to study the plasma tail variations at the highest time resolution possible. In order to do this, it will be necessary to combine photographs taken at many observatories.
