-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 From images obtained by Krizstian Sárneczky with the 0.60-meter F/3.0 Schmidt
of Piszkéstetö Observatory (MPC 461) in Hungary. Astrometric measurements are by me.

The imagery was obtained in twilight at the end of a run of the Szeged Asteroid
Survey. Each image was a 3 second exposure only!

The magnitude data nicely detail a part of the periodic brightness variation.

The Chang'e 3 rb was at a distance of about 195 000 km (0.5 Lunar Distance)
during these observations, moving towards perigee.
