     N. N. Samus, Institute of Astronomy, Moscow, informs us that
the designation V2573 Oph has been given to this object (cf. CBET 29, 31).
     CCD photometry by J. D. West, Mulvane, KS:  July 18.136 UT,
[H_alpha] = 0.89 (correction to CBET 31); 22.122, V = 11.76; 22.108,
R_c = 10.94.  N. J. Brown, Quinns Rocks, W. Australia, reports the
following magnitude estimates for V2573 Oph from his T-Max 400 film
exposures with a 135-mm f/2 lens:  June 6.60, [11.5; 18.58, 10.8;
July 6.52, 10.5.  Visual magnitude estimates:  July 19.885, 11.2 (M.

NOTE: These 'Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams' are intended to
      be preliminary announcements of items that later appear in the
      formal IAU Circulars.  Citations should normally be made to IAUCs
      rather than to CBETs.
