Bright OGLE-2 microlensing event

  According to AAVSO News Flash No. 308, a bright microlensing event is
reported to be in progress as cited below:

> MICROLENSING EVENT
> 
> We have been informed by G. Wallerstein of the detection (by the 
> OGLE-2 Early Warning System) of a very bright microlensing event, 
> which is increasing in amplitude, at the following (2000) coordinates:
> 
>     RA = 17:54:21.79   Dec = -29:53:24.0
> 
> Further information including a finder chart and a light curve can be 
> found at the following web address:  
>  
>     http://vsnet.astrouw.edu.pl/~ftp/ogle/ogle2/ews/bul-18.html

  I will post the find chart based on USNO A1.0.  The lensed object looks
apparently missing in USNO A1.0.
