COMET P/2010 U2 = 2019 P1 (Hill)
This comet has been recovered by K. Sarneczky (461) in images obtained on
August 2 and 7. The appearance was described as faint and diffuse on both
nights, with a short tail to the west visible in six co-added 120-s exposures
on August 7. The indicated delta-T correcton to the prediction, by the
undersigned, on MPC 102107 is -0.47 days.
