(8166) BUCZYNSKI
Brian Marsden at the Central Bureau relays via Brian Manning,
the discoverer, that asteroid 1991 AH1 has been named in
recognition of the efforts of Denis Buczynski. The citation
follows:

(8166) Buczynski = 1991 AH1
Discovered 1991 Jan. 12 by B. G. W. Manning at Stakenbridge.

Denis Buczynski (b. 1951), of the Conder Brow Observatory, near
Lancaster, England, is a keen amateur astronomer with many crucial
observations of suspected new objects to his credit, in particular
the very difficult confirmation of the nova V838 Her in 1991 in a
bright morning sky.
MPC 41935 (2001 Jan. 9).

Editor:
We offer our sincere congratulations to Denis on this well-deserved
recognition, and the editor wishes to personally thank him for
the numerous investigations of discovery claims reported to TA
which he has checked over the years.
