3699 Milbourn (1984 UC2) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on October 29, 1984 by E. Bowell at Flagstaff (AM).
Named in honor of Stanley William Milbourn, editor of the circulars of
the British Astronomical Association during 1969-1986, director of the comet
section during 1968-1977 and currently assistant director of the computing
section. Long interested in astronomical computations, particularly those
involving returning periodic comets, he has produced a steady stream of
accurate predictions over the years, as he has adapted procedures from
mechanical calculating machine to pocket calculator to personal computer.
Name suggested by B. G. Marsden, who wrote the citation.
