[vsnet-alert 7199] Re: Suspect star in Hydra

[Gianluca Masi <gianmasi@fr.flashnet.it>]

As already suggested several times on this list, one is invited to check
for known asteroids when dealing with "suspect stars".

You can easily perform this task using the MP-Cheker facility provided
by the Minor Planet Center at

Cheers,
Gianluca
