COMET SHOEMAKER-LEVY (1993h)
     The following precise positions have been measured by B. A.
Skiff and C. S. Shoemaker from exposures by C. S. Shoemaker, E. M.
Shoemaker and D. H. Levy with the 0.46-m Schmidt telescope at
Palomar (the first R.A. and the second Decl. are uncertain, and the
third image was involved with a star):
