G'day Patrick,

Although there are an immense number of faint stars in the vicinity, 
I reckon your candidate might be "it".  I'm more prepared to believe 
that Gordon had trouble getting a consistent pixel centroid on such a 
bright object; instead of believing in a mag <20 progenitor.

According to the latest satellite image, most of the inhabited bits of 
Australia are clouded out again.  But at least the rain has stopped.
