A sample of active galaxies and quasars was observed with a photon-counting detector (IPCS) working in time-resolved imaging mode. The observing and data-reduction technique involves taking short-exposure images, selecting from those the sharpest, and adding them up after having corrected them for image motion. Final resolutions of a few tenths of

CCD photometry of the jet in the Thuan-Gunn r and g filters obtained under good seeing conditions is presented. Elliptical models of the underlying stellar emission were subtracted from the reduced and calibrated images. The high signal to noise ratio and good spatial resolution make it possible to determine very accurately the morphological

The authors present maps of a 3arcmin×2arcmin region of the inner coma of comet P/Halley, at 10arcsec resolution, in CN (3883 Å); C2 (5100 Å); C3 (4040 Å); CN (4216 Å); NH2 (6107 Å); [O I] (6300 Å) and CH (4322 Å). The maps were prepared from multi-position absolute spectrophotometry of comet Halley, with 3.6 Å resolution, in the wavelength range
