<iximeow>
what do i do
<WeylandsWings>
iximeow: check to make sure you are looking at the thing you think you are. If no then try to reaquire and get good azel measurements (or ra dec) so you can start building up an orbit estimation to find it agin. Track it over multiple nights/months. Publish a paper on it and get naming rights?

WeylandsWings: it's dt virginis
<iximeow>
i see ~15.8" of proper motion, the image i'm comparing against is 16 years old and i should see ~10.27"
