Narrow-band photometric observations of Comet Halley in the CN, C3, C2, H2O(+), CU, CB, and CR filters during October-November 1985 are presented. Molecular column densities and production rates for gases and dust particles are obtained. Photometric parameters n for CN, C3, C2, and dust particles in the Q of about r exp -n law are determined. The analysis of the gas and dust ratio as a function of the heliocentric distance is given. 19 refs.
