1983 SA
     P. Wild, Astronomical Institute, Berne, communicates the
following additional precise positions:

         1983 UT              R.A.    (1950.0)    Decl.

         Oct.  1.89427      22 50 24.55      +14 07 29.4
               2.97153      22 48 56.18      +14 40 39.2
               3.91458      22 47 44.47      +15 08 14.9

     The following orbital elements, by the undersigned, satisfy
the five available positions within 0"3.  The formal errors are
small, and the cometary nature of the orbit seems inescapable,
although e  and  a  may be somewhat smaller than shown here.

           T = 1983 July 26.09 ET
       Peri. = 316.52                    e =   0.7128

SUPERNOVA IN IC 1731
     Wild also reports his discovery of a supernova, of  mpg 14, at
R.A. = 1h47m23s74, Decl. = +26deg57'03"9 (equinox 1950.0), 9" east and
10" north of the nucleus of IC 1731.  The discovery was made on Oct. 1
and confirmed on Oct. 3.


1983 October 5                 (3875)              Brian G. Marsden
