COMET YANAKA (1988r)
Jost Jahn (Germany) e-mails that M.Jaeger, Austria has observed
this comet:
1989 Jan 1.2UT RA 16h23.8m DEC -00 43'(1950) Mag 9.
Brian Marsden advises us that no precise positions have been
received (at 16.00UT today) and astrometry is urgently required.

SU TAURI
In response to the note on E-233, P.Schmeer (Germany) reports that
the variable has been observed at 9.7 on 1988 Dec 29.817UT and
1989 Jan 2.910UT. This contrasts with M.Gainsford's observations
which suggested a fade. On Jan 1 at 18.55UT he recorded [12.2 and
not seen but through broken clouds.
