COMET LOVAS (1986p)
     B. Szeidl, Konkoly Observatory, reports that Miklos Lovas has
discovered a comet at Piszkesteto as follows:

          1986 UT           R.A. (1950)  Decl.       m1
          Nov. 28.948       1 46.8      +13 48       14
               30.935       1 48.0      +13 48       14

The object is diffuse with condensation or nucleus, tail < 1 .


1986 WA
     A. Maury, California Institute of Technology, reports his
discovery of a fast-moving asteroidal object on plates taken by G.
Carlson and J. Mueller in the course of Palomar Sky Survey II:

     1986 UT              R.A. (1950) Decl.            Mag.
     Nov. 27.156        0 08 29.4      +13 03 21
          27.197        0 08 42.6      +13 01 38       16.5
          30.165        0 23 19.6      +11 07 40
          30.175        0 23 22.2      +11 07 16


NO NOVA IN LACERTA
     Several observers have reported negative searches for the
possible nova reported on IAUC 4275.  In particular, H. Kosai,
Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, reports that H. Shibasaki found no
object brighter than mpv = 16 with the 0.5-m Schmidt at Dodaira on
Nov. 25.5 UT.  Kosai adds that the Nov. 22 image appeared on
simultaneous exposures with two cameras and provides the following
precise position: R.A. = 22h22m07s.6, Decl. = +48 12'41" (equinox 1950.0).


NOVA CYGNI 1986
     R. Monella, Covo, Italy, provides UBV photoelectric measures:
Oct. 27.872 UT, V = 10.77, B-V = +0.34, U-B = -0.47; Oct. 28.858,
10.18, +0.55, -0.75; Oct. 29.870, 10.12, +0.48, -0.35.
     Visual magnitude estimates: Nov. 3.9 UT, 11.7 (M. Verdenet,
Bourbon-Lancy, France); 4.8, 11.6 (Verdenet); 7.8, 11.8 (Verdenet);
10.76, 11.2 (E. Schweitzer, Strasbourg, France); 12.77, 11.3
(Schweitzer); 13.73, 11.2 (Schweitzer); 25.8, 11.9 (Schweitzer).
