COMET MACHHOLZ (1994r)
     J. Ticha, Klet Observatory, communicates further precise
positions, obtained by Z. Moravec and M. Tichy with the 0.57-m
f/5.2 reflector + CCD + R filter.  She notes that the Klet observations
on IAUC 6091 should be ignored.  The comet has a 0'.5 coma and
a 1' tail to the north-northwest.
