Dear Colleagues-
 
The MACHO project has detected a candidate microlensing event in
progress towards the Galactic bulge.

Star ID                       402.48280.1590
RA      (J2000)               17:58:25.4

Likely a very blended, caustic crossing binary lensing event.  Source
is apparently inside a caustic region on 8 Sep, at A ~1.4 and possibly
rising towards a second caustic crossing.  Finding charts and
