Thank you very much to Ted for checking on my unid report: >...was about +5 by this fairly good position: > >... or maybe >2004-07-04 03:58:34.5 RA 21:40 Dec +71.0 (2000) > >I'm just using the Bright Star Atlas 2000 at the moment. >FWIW, a possible prior position, between two stars which >I may be able to confirm tonight, was: > >2004-07-04 03:58:20 RA 19:55 +68.5 (2000) In looking at the sky position for two more nights, and now back at my home PC and using HomePlanet, this is much better for the prime position: 2004-07-04 03:58:34.5 RA 21:41:51, Dec +71.2 (2000) I'm in doubt about the prior position vis-a-vis the time. It is possible, maybe likely, that it was close to a +5.9 star, i.e.: 2004-07-04 03:58:20.3 RA 21:06:22, Dec +71.4 (2000) In which case I first saw the object at the higher position between two fairly bright stars, but at an undetermined time: roughly RA 19:55 +68.5 (2000) More exact data for my site at the time are 30.209N, 98.099W. I understand something like this is a very long shot. I was surprised that it was an unid.
