M.P.E.C. 2022-N51 Issued 2022 July 8, 08:50 UT The Minor Planet Electronic Circulars contain information on unusual minor planets and routine data on comets. They are published on behalf of Division F of the International Astronomical Union by the Minor Planet Center, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. Prepared using the Tamkin Foundation Computer Network MPC@CFA.HARVARD.EDU URL https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/ ISSN 1523-6714 COMET P/2014 R5 = P/1998 W9 = P/2006 S14 = P/2022 L5 (Lemmon-PANSTARRS) Comet P/2014 R5 was detected in images taken at MAP (W94) on July 2 UT, and independently at Buchloe (215) on June 6 UT. Additional isolated tracklets from 1998 and 2006 were located by S. Nakano.
