     Continuation to the ephemeris on IAUC 4465:

1987 SJ3
     Another fast-moving asteroidal object has been discovered by
C. and E. Shoemaker with the 0.46-m Schmidt telescope at Palomar:

      1987 UT              R.A. (1950) Decl.           Mag.
      Sept.27.30850      0 42 01.95     - 6 04 02.1     16
           27.33923      0 41 58.28     - 6 03 37.8
           29.34652      0 38 05.89     - 5 37 20.9
           30.40138      0 36 08.17     - 5 23 49.7

    The object is evidently a borderline Apollo, but the semimajor
axis is completely indeterminate:

           T = 1987 June 27.99 ET
           W = 260.75                    e =   0.5782
           O =  21.33   1950.0           a =   2.4353 AU
           i =  11.14                    n =   0.25934
           q =   1.0271 AU               P =   3.80 years

     1987 ET      R.A. (1950) Decl.     Delta      r       V
     Oct.  7     0 25.22    - 4 03.0
