NOVA DELPHINI 1967
     Mr. M. P. Candy, British Astronomical Association, cables that
a nova has been discovered in Delphinus by G. E. D. Alcock,
Peterborough, England, as follows:

    1967  UT       R.A. (1950.0) Decl.    Mv

    July  8.94097   20 40.0   +18 55      5.0

The discovery was confirmed by Candy, and also by R. E. Zissell,
Trunbull, Connecticut.  Photoelectric photometry by Zissell with
the 20-inch reflector of Yale University Observatory on July 9.15
in rather hazy conditions give V = 5.73 +/- 0.05, B-V = +0.17 +/- 0.05,
assuming that the comparison star BD +19 4484 has V = 6.29,
B-V = +0.64.


COMET MITCHELL-JONES-GERBER (1967f)
     The following parabolic elements have been determined by B. G.
Marsden, Smithsonian Observatory, from 23 approximate positions
July 1-8 obtained principally at the Smithsonian observing stations:

     T = 1967 June 16.75 ET           Peri. =  79.89
                                      Node  =  31.26    1950.0
     q = 0.1817 AU                    Incl. =  55.51

1967 ET     R. A. (1950) Decl.     Delta      r     Mag.
July  9     9 42.62    + 0 30.7    0.959    0.732    4.6
     11     9 55.17    - 2 32.6
     13    10 06.88    - 5 23.3    1.015    0.828    5.2
     15    10 17.86    - 8 01.4
     17    10 28.16    -10 27.5    1.085    0.921    5.8
     19    10 37.87    -12 42.0
     21    10 47.05    -14 45.9    1.164    1.010    6.4
     23    10 55.74    -16 39.9
     25    11 04.01    -18 25.0    1.251    1.096    6.9
     27    11 11.88    -20 02.0
     29    11 19.41    -21 31.6    1.342    1.180    7.4

       Mag. = 6.0 + 5 log Delta + 10 log r.


1967 July 10                   (2022)              Owen Gingerich
