Hendrie, who devoted himself from 1952 of systematic photography of comets and participated at the 1956 observation of the periodic comets 27P/Crommelin. He promoted the cooperation between amateur and professional observers during the International Halley Watch in the 1980s and eventually headed for ten years, the comet section of the British Astronomical Association.
