Zusammenfassung:Preliminary results of observations of comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 from Rangapur Observatory during 21–22 January 1994 are presented. Astrometric positions of resolved fragments were estimated using multiple triangulations of stars in HST Guide star catalogue. Tails from individual fragments could be resolved up to about lOarcsec. An ambient dusty region extending to about 17–20 arcsec on the anti-sun direction of the cometary train is evident on all the frames.
