Polarization images of Comet HalleyObservations from two dates 5 Jan. and 7 Jan. 1986 are presented. The images were obtained with the Durham imaging polarimeter on the 1-m telescope of the Wise Observatory, Israel. The observations were made through a broadband filter centered at 0.67 microns with a 0.17 micron effective bandwidth. This wavelength region should be dominated by continuum radiation. The intensity images cover 46 x 78 arcsecs. The intensity images are shown in logorithmic form and they are analyzed.
