B. A. Skiff (Lowell Observatory, Anderson Mesa Station).  0.33-m
   photographic telescope.  Measurer: E. Bowell.
A. Young (Hemingford Abbots, near Cambridge, Eng.).  0.6-m reflector.
   Measurer: P. Birtwhistle.  Communicated by G. M. Hurst.
A. Yamagata, K. Hamabe and K. Ogura (Tokyo Astronomical
   Observatory, Kiso Station).  Measurer: H. Kosai.


PERIODIC COMET HALLEY (1982i)
     The following precise position has been measured by R. M.
West, European Southern Observatory, from a 45-min exposure by H.
Pedersen using a charge-coupled device on the Danish 1.5-m reflector
at La Silla.  A preliminary determination of the magnitude of
the comet is V = 24.7 +/- 0.3.

          1982 UT               R.A.   (1950.0)   Decl.
