Yes, I expect for the 2061 perhelion we will have much better capabilities, even for a short flyby. A bit of a wait, of course!
(I do wonder what sort of wild trajectory would one need to actually rendezvous and follow Halley, Rosetta-style? |

(I do wonder what sort of wild trajectory would one need to actually rendezvous and follow Halley, Rosetta-style? so could it still be accepted as a map for comet Halley, until the thing comes back and we preform a good flyby |

so could it still be accepted as a map for comet Halley, until the thing comes back and we preform a good flyby A map is only useful if it is instructive. Your map - even with your best effort to fix the jagged edges - is dominated so much by artifacts that any real features are frankly hard to differentiate from the artifacts. I don't think, as a map, it is useful. |
