1993 OL
     C. S. and E. M. Shoemaker and D. H. Levy report their discovery
of a fast-moving asteroidal object on exposures with the 0.46-m
Schmidt telescope at Palomar.  Measurements by E. M. Shoemaker and
D. H. Levy:

     1993 UT             R.A. (2000) Decl.       Mag.
     July 23.29270   20 05 33.06   -27 58 13.5    16

     Orbital elements by B. G. Marsden, Center for Astrophysics,
indicate that the object is of Apollo type, but the eccentricity
and inclination are particularly uncertain:

     T = 1993 Oct. 29.203 TT          Peri. = 134.775
     e = 0.57228                      Node  = 304.008   2000.0
     q = 0.49135 AU                   Incl. =  24.635
       a =  1.14875 AU     n = 0.800512     P =   1.23 years
