Mueller reports her discovery of another comet on plates taken by herself (with K. Rykoski on Oct. 22) with the 1.2-m Oschin Schmidt Telescope in the course of the Palomar Outer Solar System Ecliptic Survey. The comet has strong condensation and a short, faint tail to the southeast. The following positions were reduced by G. V. Williams, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, from x,y measures provided by Mueller: 1998 UT R.A. (2000) Decl. m1 Oct. 21.34028 1 24 56.57 +12 27 57.2 18 21.36111 1 24 56.12 +12 27 55.1 22.20417 1 24 30.07 +12 26 17.8 22.22500 1 24 29.65 +12 26 15.2 SUPERNOVAE 1998ej AND 1998ek IN ANONYMOUS GALAXIES J. Maza, Department of Astronomy, University of Chile, reports the discovery of two supernovae by Roberto Antezana on T-Max 400 films taken by L. E. Gonzalez with the Maksutov telescope at Cerro El Roble: SN 1998 UT R.A. (2000) Decl. Mag. Offset 1998ej Oct. 15.201 23 41 00.95 -38 56 37.2 19 4".1 W, 6".5 N 1998ek Oct. 15.341 6 36 30.59 -37 58 40.2 18 14".0 E, 4".3 N SN 1998ej was confirmed via B and V direct images taken by D. Gonzalez on Oct. 17 with the YALO telescope at Cerro Tololo, but it is not visible on a film obtained at Cerro El Roble on Sept. 28.223 (B > 19.5). SN 1998ek was confirmed on a T-Max 400 film taken by L. E. Gonzalez on Sept. 28.378 with the Cerro El Roble telescope, but it is not visible on a film obtained with the same instrument on Aug. 28.379 (B > 19.5). COMET C/1998 T1 (LINEAR) Total visual magnitude estimates: Oct. 13.77 UT, 14.6 (M. Lehky, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, 0.42-m reflector); 13.85, 14.3 (K. Hornoch, Lelekovice, Czech Republic, 0.35-m reflector); 17.03, 14.5 (Lehky); 20.90, 13.7 (Lehky); 21.83, 13.9 (Hornoch). (C) Copyright 1998 CBAT 1998 October 22 (7035) Daniel W. E. Green
