  That is clearly a negative fault.

  They are available at http://club.idecnet.com/~rvr/img/aug311.gif and
http://club.idecnet.com/~rvr/img/aug232.gif ... The images aren't as good
as aug271. The object, if there, is in the detection limit.

Aug 23.2 UT, 15 min exp, Mv=15.0, Magnitude limit was 15.5 (aug232.gif)
Aug 31.1 UT, 13 min exp, Mv=14.0, Magnitude limit was 14.5 (aug311.gif)

  Last night, Sep 1.1 UT, I take another shot of the area with 30 minutes
of exposure (same instruments as lasts). There is nothing brigther than
16.5. Visually, I didn't see anything brighter than 14.8.
