The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka,
are from 360 observations 1990 Nov. 11 to 1999 Apr. 15,
including 9 Planets Moon and 5 minor planets perturbations
and non-gravitational effect of style II.
The mean residual is +/- 0.87 arc seconds.

m1 = 8.5 + 5 log d + 30 log r [ ,-70] ( - 1997 Oct. 3)
m1 = 40.8 + 5 log d - 78.5 log r(t + 100) [-40, 75] (1997 Oct. 3 - 1998 Feb. 25)
m1 = 4.8 + 5 log d + 20.0 log r [ 75, ] (1998 Feb. 25 - )
* Gray curve is: m1 = 8.5 + 5 log d + 30 log r
