FAST-MOVING OBJECT WILD
     Mr. Paul Wild, Astronomical Institute, Berne, cables that he
has observed a fast-moving object, as follows:

     1973 UT          R.A. (1950) Decl.     mpg
     Dec.  5.76875    2 25.4    +44 14
           6.83125    2 20.3    +45 28      13
Daily motion: Delta-R.A. = -4.77m, Delta-Decl. = +69'.


COMET SANDAGE (1972h)
     Mrs. G. R. Kastel', Institute for Theoretical Astronomy,
Leningrad, communicates the following positiions, obtained by S. K.
Vsekhsvyatskij at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory; reduced at
I.T.A.

PERIODIC COMET GIACOBINI-ZINNER (1972d)
     B. Milet, Nice Observatory, provides the following precise
position (although the image is somewhat doubtful):

     1972 UT             R.A. (1950) Decl.
     Nov.  4.12226    8 24 57.45   -20 55 58.0


SU TAURI
     Mr. J. E. Isles, British Astronomical Association, writes that
SU Tau has been continuing its erratic variation within a magnitude
of full maximum (cf. IAUC 2460).  He provides the following observations
by W. E. Pennell: Nov. 19.9 UT, mv = 9.3; 25.9, 10.2; 28.9,
10.6.  P. A. Moore estimated mv = 10.2 on Nov. 28.83 and 29.10 UT.
