A. Nakamura (Kuma Kogen).  0.60-m f/6.0 Ritchey-Chretien telescope
  + CCD.  Comet nearly stellar.  Communicated by S. Nakano.
J. V. Scotti (Kitt Peak).  Spacewatch telescope.  9" coma; 0'.30
  tail in p.a. 262o; m2 = 22.0.


GRO J0422+32
     P. Zhao, P. Callanan, M. Garcia, and J. McClintock, Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory, write:  "The x-ray nova J0422+32 has
declined another magnitude since April.  Average magnitudes for the
period Apr. 12-16 are R = 19.93 +/- 0.17 (rms) and V = 20.83 +/-
0.13 (rms).  CCD photometry obtained with the F. L. Whipple
Observatory's 1.2-m telescope in September gives the following
magnitudes:  Sept. 5.47 UT, R = 21.06 +/- 0.10, V = 22.39 +/- 0.27;
7.49, 21.07 +/- 0.10, -."


SUPERNOVA 1994W IN NGC 4041
     Visual magnitude estimates (cf. IAUC 6058):  Aug. 27.79 UT,
13.7 (L. Szentasko, Veresegyhaz, Hungary); 28.85, 13.6 (G. Cortini
and M. Villi, Mount Colombo, Italy); 29.86, 13.4 (W. Hasubick,
Buchloe, Germany); 31.79, 14.2 (Szentasko); Sept. 1.79, 14.3
