                       COMET P/2004 WR9 = 2019 U3 (LINEAR)                   
    
         This comet, described as completely stellar in appearance on both nights,
    has been recovered by K. Sárneczky (K88).  The indicated delta-T correction to
    the prediction, by the undersigned, on MPC 105245 is -0.75 days.
