    Mike has just informed me that Peter used updated predicted elements, which Mike provided upon request, and that Peter
    found the object within 3 deg (12 minutes late) relative those elements. So in this case, nice work Mike!
    
    Last month, the kudos went to Peter, who found the object some 30 deg off prediction, more than 5 weeks since the last
    observation.
