COMET C/2006 S5 (HILL)
     R. E. Hill reports his discovery of a comet on images taken in
the course of the Catalina Sky Survey with the 0.68-m Schmidt
telescope (discovery observation tabulated below), the object
described as having a tail about 10" long to the southwest.

     2006 UT             R.A. (2000) Decl.       Mag.

Additional astrometry reported following posting on the 'NEO
Confirmation Page', the following preliminary parabolic orbital
elements, and an ephemeris appear on MPEC 2006-S84.

COMET P/2006 S6 (HILL)
     Hill reports his discovery of another comet on images taken

Catalina (Aug. 29, Sept. 18) and from LINEAR (Sept. 18)], the
following elliptical orbital elements, and an ephemeris appear on
MPEC 2006-S85.
