Recent estimates of the CCSD(T)(FC) limit for the neon atom (-128.8690 +/- 0.001 and -128.8687 +/- 0.0005 hartree) are refined. Re-examination of the basis set convergence of the separate self-consistent field, MP2-alpha beta, MP2-alpha alpha, CCSD-MP2, and (T) components of the valence CCSD(T) energy gives a complete basis set limit of -128.869 236 +/- 0.000 02 hartree. This can now be used as an improved benchmark to calibrate more approximate calculations.
