Comet C/1996 B2 (Hyakutake): The Great Comet of 1996

A preliminary report on this comet has already appeared in the Journal and a more detailed set of observations has been published by The Astronomer. This paper records those observations submitted to TA and the BAA up to the end of 1996 October. Whilst there is some analysis here it is not extensive. It is hoped that a final report will be published as a Memoir at a later date. Many of the observations and images have been archived electronically on a CD-ROM. A selection of these observations is also available on the Internet. The visual observations were converted to electronic format and have been forwarded to the International Comet Quarterly.
