G'day all,
>Visual observation at 1996 July 26 15:20UT revealed a mag 10.9v
>object at 01h28m -56d21' (+/- 4'), with no other objects brighter
>than 11.2v within 10'. Weather conditions were poor (patchy
>cloud, mist & Moonlight).
>I am not certain if this was the ALEXIS object or one of the GSC
>stars listed above. However, I will be checking this location
I had another look this evening (July 27 15:00UT). No object was
visible within 10' of this position. Limiting mag is still 11.2v -
weather has improved a bit, but the Moon is brighter tonight :(
Maybe this was the ALEXIS object? Or the outburst originated from
one of the GSC stars? A check with GUIDE 4.0 showed no asteroids
near this position.
