1992 AE
     J. V. Scotti reports the discovery by D. L. Rabinowitz of a
fast-moving asteroidal object on CCD images obtained with the 0.91-m
Spacewatch telescope.  Images of the object were subsequently located
on 0.46-m Schmidt telescope films taken at Palomar by E. F. Helin,
J. Alu, and K. Lawrence.
