Dear All,

I wish to point out the new object 2012 DA14 discovered at
La Sagra. I have computed the orbit using 3 days of arc (last night we
have observed this object at 204 with Luca Buzzi) and I have
found, on
the basis of the preliminary orbit, that this small object
will have
a very close approach on February 15, 2013, so more observations are
needed in order to improve its
orbit and reduce the error on the
nominal distance. At the moment the visual magnitude is good...
Please
