Gajdos et. al., Modra Observatory; P. Pravec, Ondrejov Observatory and others report on CBET 910 that photometric observations of Mar.6-26 shows that minor planet (1338) is a binary system with an orbital period of 17.57 +/- 0.01 hr. The primary shows a period of 3.85453 +/- 0.00009 hr, and it has a lightcurve amplitude of 0.23 mag. SUPERNOVA 2007ag IN UGC 5392 Discovery by T. Puckett and R.
