Hi,

when I looked at V4368 Sgr (Wakuda's star) I saw it 'double'
despite the fact I had only one glass of wine with my souper.
The object in question was about 12 arcseconds straight to the
North of V4368 and about 10.5 in magnitude. After my initial
excitement -how would you feel!- I decided to have a look again in
two hours time. Maybe it would turn out to be a planetoid (again),
as this is sky region near the ecliptic. After 2 hours indeed the
object at similar brigthness had moved to about 100 " straight
West of V. Unfortunately, it was a planetoid!
Did anyone see it too?
Best regards,
