                    COMET P/2005 XA54 = 2020 V1 (LONEOS-Hill)                
    
         This comet has been recovered in exposures taken by Zwicky Transient
    Facility (I41), and independently by Mount Lemmon Survey (G96).  The indicated
    delta-T correction to the prediction, by G. V. Williams, on MPC 75706 is -1.08
    days.
