Hook and R. McMahon, Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge; and M. Irwin, Royal Greenwich Observatory, report the following CCD magnitudes (+/- 0.1) obtained Mar. 15.25 UT with the 1.0-m Kapteyn Telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos: B = 14.37, V = 14.27, R = 14.17, I = 14.26. UW CENTAURI R. H. McNaught, University of Adelaide, forwards the following visual magnitudes estimates by P. F. Williams, Heathcote, N.S.W, which show that this R CrB-type variable is fading: Mar. 12.47 UT, 9.2; 15.53, 9.2; 17.49, 9.8; 18.49, 10.2. 1991 March 21 (5218) Daniel W. E. Green
