PERIODIC COMET BORRELLY (1994l)
     This comet has been recovered independently by A. C. Gilmore
and P. M. Kilmartin and by G. J. Garradd, as shown below; these
positions are precisely consistent with the prediction on MPC 18259
(ephemeris on MPC 23144):

SUPERNOVA 1994I IN NGC 5194
     J. E. H. Wink, Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimetrique
(IRAM), reports:  "SN 1994I was observed at 88 GHz during Apr.
13.83-14.28 UT with the IRAM interferometer.  The source was
unresolved with a 3" beam at R.A. = 13h27m47s.7, Decl. =
+47o26'58" (error 0".5).  The flux was 2.83 mJy (1-sigma error 0.44
mJy); this was calibrated against the source 1418+546, which
measured 0.880 Jy.  This flux density, when compared with 15-GHz
observations of 15 mJy made at the same time by Pooley and Green
(K. Weiler, priv. comm.), indicates a nonthermal spectral index of
-0.9 (error 0.1).  The 230-GHz detections of 8 mJy reported by
Chini et al. (IAUC 5969) are likely contaminated by dust emission
from NGC 5194."


AG DRACONIS
     The following visual magnitude estimates indicate that this
symbiotic variable has entered a bright outburst:  May 9.97 UT, 9.9
(B. H. Granslo, Fjellhamar, Norway); 26.99, 9.8 (Granslo); June
2.99, 9.3  (Granslo); 4.99, 9.3 (G. Poyner, Birmingham, England);
14.63, 8.4 (Y. Takenaka, Kyoto, Japan); 19.094, 8.5 (P. Schmeer,
Bischmisheim, Germany).
