I Continued to observe this unknown object until it began to encroach upon my serious light pollution in the west, rendering it invisible. It appears to be fading, about 0.5 mag fainter after 3 hours. I am pretty confident of my magnitude estimates because of the nearby 148 comp. Not so sure if the position exactly corresponds to the 155 comp, because that star is too faint for me. It *MAY* be slightly south of 155, as Simonsen mentions??? No motion apparent in 3 hours. Observations: 20030920.4076 14.7 20030920.4299 14.7 20030920.4403 14.7 20030920.4486 14.8 20030920.4625 14.9 20030920.4667 14.9 20030920.4778 15.1: I hope observers in Japan have a chance to put a CCD on this ASAP! What the heck is this? A GRB????????? Mike Linnolt On Sat, 20 Sep 2003, Mike Simonsen wrote: > Michael, > > There is positively something there.
