It has been followed for the two nights of the run. The measured positions don't fit very well with the 1997 observations of 1997 TX8. We hope that additional observations will be made at another place to check the nature of what is called for the moment CFH500. Three positions of each of them have been obtained using Telescope Control System Engineering time on Aug.14. The available arc jumped from 10 to 86 days, and the recovery at the next opposition shouldn't be a problem.
Positions are here .
Its position can be found here . In spite of many efforts, 1996KV1 has not been found at its 1997 opposition. It has been found again in a very crowded field, far from its predicted position by more than 6'. Positions and new orbital elements are here . These are the first second opposition of this object, observed at high air-mass and with a thin layer of cirrus.
