[vsnet-chat 5354] Re: [vsnet-alert 7385] Re: Suspect object near NGC 6946

I looked around Yamoka-san's astrometric position
for this object on 020618 UT and found nothing down to V~22.  The two
brightest objects that bracket the position are V=17.2
and V=18.2; both look like normal stars.  The arms of
NGC6946 do pass through this region; there is a clump
of material within a few arcsec of the position.
  This was a photometric night, so I will post the
BV field photometry file for the field at
http://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/sequence/ngc6946.dat
stars brighter than V=14 are saturated.  I do not intend
to reobserve this field unless a new outburst is detected.
Nice galaxy, though!
