Abstract

The encounter of Deep Impact with comet 9P/Tempel 1 led to an
unprecedented coordinated observational ground-based observing campaign
which attracted many non-specialists. This paper discusses aspects of
observational accuracy achieved by untrained observers using standard CCD
cameras at 0.5 and 1-m class telescopes in South Africa and Chile. Our
experience illustrates that calibrated photometry of comets cannot be
accomplished without dedicated observing.
