Precise positions measured by C. Shoemaker from exposures by
E. Shoemaker and herself with the Palomar 0.46-m Schmidt telescope:
1984 UT R.A. (1950.0) Decl. Mag.
May 27.44930 17 58 12.20 +15 27 01.7 13.5

30.36875 17 31 56.10 + 9 38 16.7
The object appears to be of Apollo type. The following orbital
elements are somewhat uncertain, but the ephemeris will
perhaps serve to locate the object:
T = 1984 Apr. 4.91 ET
Peri. = 337.69 e = 0.8191
Node = 167.56 1950.0 a = 2.7912 AU
Incl. = 4.92 n = 0.21136
q = 0.5048 AU P = 4.66 years
