We started observing at 4:44-4:48 UT did not observe any change in the area. There was one star that was wobbly, but it was on the edge of the maginification of the telescope, so it was a negative observation. | 8" Star Watcher Dobsonian (Starbuck), 26 mm plossil, atomic clock, stop watch, charts |
