Magnitude uncertain due to poor sequence and cloud interference. (2) An object was seen at the correct location. It was seen near threshold (due to a rather poor seeing and bright sky background) and was clearly (about 4 steps) fainter than GSC 1621-1322 (V = 13.41). Yours sincerely, Bjorn H. Granslo
