SUPERNOVA 2004ew IN ESO 153-G17
     M. Salvo, Australian National University (ANU); A. Pastorello,
Arcetri Observatory; and B. Schmidt, ANU, report that a low-S/N
spectrum (range 400-900 nm) of SN 2004ew (cf. IAUC 8418), obtained
with the ANU 2.3-m telescope (+ Double-Beam Spectrograph) at Siding
Spring on Oct. 22.64 UT, shows this object to be a type-Ib (or
possibly IIb) supernova, resembling SN 2000H (cf. IAUC 7375) a few
weeks past maximum light.  The spectrum shows the prominent He I
lines at 447.2, 587.6, 667.8, 706.5, and 728.1 nm with velocities
of about 8200 km/s.  A relatively faint, high-velocity H_alpha
absorption is also visible (v about 13300 km/s).


COMET C/2004 T3 (SIDING SPRING)
     Improved parabolic orbital elements from MPEC 2004-U39:

     T = 2004 Oct. 29.670 TT          Peri. = 288.812
                                      Node  =  48.116   2000.0
     q = 9.54814 AU                   Incl. =  72.693


COMET C/2004 Q1 (TUCKER)
     Visual total-magnitude estimates:  Sept. 24.85 UT, 11.5 (A.
Pearce, Noble Falls, W. Australia, 0.20-m reflector); Oct. 4.88,
11.5 (A. Kammerer, Malsch, Germany, 0.30-m reflector); 10.27, 10.7

Yoshida, Gunma, Japan, 0.40-m reflector); 23.86, 9.9 (E. P. Bus,
Moncarapacho, Portugal, 10x56 binoculars).
