1986 EB
     E. and C. Shoemaker provide the following precise positions of
observations made at Palomar:

           1986 UT             R.A.   (1950.0)   Decl.

     Orbital elements by C. M. Bardwell, Center for Astrophysics,
based on the above 6 observations, indicate this to be an Aten-
type minor planet:

R CORONAE BOREALIS
     J. A. Mattei, AAVSO, reports visual magnitude estimates which
indicate that R CrB is again fading: Feb. 17.11 UT, 6.9 (D. Fisher,
Berwick, ON); 27.22, 6.8 (K. Medway, Southampton, England); Mar.
1.1, 7.5 (J. Bortle, Stormville, NY); 6.22, 7.4 (Medway).
