Dear CBAers,

This looks like an awfully interesting object, and beautifully placed in 
the sky for northern observers.  Acquire in the evening, and let 'er rip!

Using Astrometrica and USNO-B1.0 I've obtained the following mean position 
(with std errors) from 5 of my images taken on 2006 Dec 17 between 18.42 and 
18.47UT.

RA 5:57:18.468 �0.003    Dec 68:32:27.01�0.02

Regards,
David Boyd
