Data Set Overview
=================
This data set presents images of the nucleus of comet 1P/Halley
obtained by the various contributing observers of the
International Halley Watch (IHW) Near-Nucleus Studies Network
(NNSN) over the period 16 October 1982 to 12 April 1989.
Observers around the world contributed to this data set,
which consists of 3523 well-documented FITS images.
The data are broken down into directories by date. The NNSN
used a standard reporting format for keywords in the FITS
header. The images themselves are all either 2-byte or 4-byte
integer data. Calibrated and uncalibrated data appear in the
same directory. See the individual data labels (DESCRIPTION
keyword) and the NNSN appendix for additional information,
including comments on processing and FITS header keyword
descriptions.
This data set supercedes IHW-C-NNSN-3-EDR-HALLEY-V1.0 and includes
the corrections for scan line corruption from
IHW-C-NNSN-3-EDR-HALLEY-ADDENDA-V1.0.
Modification History
====================
Generation of the version 2.0 form of this data set consisted
of the following:
o Concatenation of FITS headers and data segments to restore
compliant FITS image files. No modifications were made to
either FITS headers or FITS data segments at this step.
o Generation of new PDS labels, incorporating as many keyword
values and comments from the FITS file headers as possible.
o Sorting into monthly directories.
o Creation of a summary index file for all images.
o Application of the errata noted by Mikael Aronsson (JPL) as
he compiled the IHW Printed Archive and Printed Archive
Index.
o Correction (where possible) or notation directly in the labels
of errata submitted by others since original publication.
o Correction of some minor FITS header syntax issues noted while
working with the data files.
o All arrays and orientation metadata (including FITS headers)
were examined and corrected as needed. See
orientation-time-scale-revs.asc for details.
o Pixel scale metadata (including FITS headers) were also
updated, as needed. See orientation-time-scale-revs.asc for
details.
o Some image times were also updated. See
orientation-time-scale-revs.asc for details.
Thanks to Nalin Samarasinha and Cassandra Lejoy for identifying some
orientation and time issues.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
Confidence Level Overview
=========================
A general data quality indicator was provided for each image in
the FITS header, carried over into the PDS label in the keyword
DATA_QUALITY_DESC. The four values of this keyword are EXCELLENT,
GOOD, FAIR and POOR. Images rated POOR were included only when
better data were not available for a particular date.
Users should consult 'The Comet Halley Archive Summary Volume'
(JPL D-400-450) for a discussion of the completeness and of the
collection and overall quality considerations. The NNSN appendix
is included this data set's documentation.
See the documentation directory for a summary of known data set
issues.
