Re: re: Little help on object observed last night

Well the chance of getting up to Montebello tonight to try to take a
look again is zilch.
This thing was extremely faint and I wonder if I interpreted all the
faint stars in that spot that form a sort of broad 5 to 7' ring field
as this effect. Maybe the weekend will be ok and include it again, scan
the area.

The correction I made in my 11:44 post was it was actually at RA 10
47 33 DEC +12 52 05

If it were some comet or another that was very spherical (like a
super-mini holmes) it may have moved or was not really anything but the
background stars after all. This new scope is fun in any case and the
re-observed objects were way better in it than the old rig.

Thanks for any tips,
Mark
