COMET P/2009 U2 (LINEAR)
     J. V. Scotti, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, reports his recovery of
comet P/2001 YX127 with the Spacewatch II telescope at Kitt Peak:

     2009 UT             R.A. (2000) Decl.       Mag.   Observer
     Oct. 18.45096   03 23 08.99   +21 29 50.3   20.9   Scotti

The comet was very slightly diffuse, also on Oct. 19, with a short but faint
tail.  The indicated correction to the prediction on MPC 62881 is Delta T
= -0.36 day.

     Further details are given on MPEC 2009-U40.
