Abstract
D. L. Rabinowitz, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, points out that his data on IAUC 6452 gave reflectance colors, implying that the spectrum is indeed redder than solar (see also IAUC 6462). A refined reduction yields V = 17.42 +/- 0.03 on Aug. 14.4 UT and 17.22 +/- 0.07 on Aug. 15.4, with mean reflectance colors (from five observations) V-R = +0.18 +/- 0.04, V-I = +0.34 +/- 0.03, consistent with the spectra of S- or D-type objects.
