Further photographs by Brian Manning on Oct 5 confirm the object
now designated 1989 TE. This is the first asteroid to be discovered
from England since 1909 October 5, 80 years to the night between 
the two discovery reports! Brian Marsden provides the following
Vaisala orbit to enable more observations to be obtained and to
secure the orbit. Could photographers make every effort to obtain
further results:
