COMET P/2018 P1 = P/2010 A1 (HILL)
E. Schwab, Egelsbach, Germany, reports his recovery of comet P/2010 A1
(cf. IAUCs 9104, 9107) on CCD images obtained by P. Ruiz on Aug. 10.2 UT with
a 1.0-m f/4.4 reflector at the European Space Agency's Optical Ground Station,
Tenerife, Spain; the comet shows a faint tail extending about 15" in p.a.
260 degrees. M. Micheli reported confirming CCD astrometry from observations
obtained on Aug. 12.3 by F. Monteiro and five other observers with a 1.0-m
f/7 reflector at the Observatorio Astronomico do Sertao de Itaparica at
Nova Itacuruba, Brazil.

The indicated correction to the prediction by B. G. Marsden on MPC 94681
is Delta(T) = +0.39 day. The following linked orbital elements by G. V.
Williams (from 150 observations spanning 2010 Jan. 6-2018 Aug. 12; mean
residual 0".6) and an ephemeris appear on MPEC 2018-P80.
