Photographs and astrometry of this unusually bright
newly-discovered asteroid are strongly recommended. Additionally
visual observers could make magnitude estimates at 15 minute
intervals for as long a period as possible each night. Please send
a drawing with comparisons labelled, scale and orientation to the
Editor together with the full estimate (eg A(1)v(2)B etc) so that
we may attempt reduction in due course. Some fast-moving objects
have shown significant rotational amplitude due to their irregular
shape and this visual work may help us study this object in this
way.
