From: "Mike Simonsen" <mikesimonsen@mindspring.com> Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2003 15:06:22 -0400 Subject: [vsnet-alert 7893] Re: Keck Image of OT near HX Peg Arne, I have completely ignored this star (155) in my previous observations, using the 153 and 148 as my usual lower limit stars, and don't recall ever seeing it in the past, so I can not state categorically that it wasn't this star. My impression was the OT was further away from the 155 position than even Linnolt stated. But my observation was made hurriedly, just at astronomical twilight and I had been observing for over 5 hours, so I wasn't at my best. Linnolt made several observations so I would trust his impression of the position more than mine. One thing _is_ certain, there was a brightish object there as Mike described. It was easy to see, and right where he told us to look. I figured it was another pesky asteroid. Another thing is certain. We will not be using this 155 star as a comp on the new AAVSO HX Peg charts.
