Don't forget, it left me hanging too! Maybe I'll post an update when we have a final answer, but right now I'm feeling a bit pessimistic about it. This particular target is setting and won't be visible again until the Fall. Even then, there is no guarantee that we will have the telescope time to observe it again. Hey!

If not, when will you get another crack at it? Great post. I know it is a mystery you are solving, but you make it sound as exciting as a murder mystery. Thanks for sharing.
