George.. Have you noticed the weather the last three nights?? I wish I had
been able, camera at the ready on the scope, beeped at a good time, would
have loved to get the image.

Sounds like it's already too late to see with even powerful telescopes.

Hi, all -

In case some of you might have been watching this spot at the right
time.

There was a Gamma Ray Burster March 19 in the constellation Bootes:
RA: 14 31 40.98 , Dec: +36 18 8.8 (J2000)

Observers with any images of this field taken since 2008 March 19 0600
UT are urgently asked to check these images for optical transients.

Details are at the American Association of Variable Star Observers:
