- I took 2 more images tonight because there is going to be a full moon next week. There is some cloud effect in these images, but it’s stuck to the CCD, not the sky. I had autoguider problems for 32 minutes before Arnie showed up. When he tried to fix it another user jumped and then I took a one second dummy image just in case before I took the 2 images.

- Frame 1 is excellent! I find a tight swirl just left of main triangle of stars above/left of March 10 coords that is big/strong enough to trigger Avis. Not a star. Lots of lightness surrounds where I expect Planet X is. Tail debris appears to trail back similiar to Steves March 08 circled image (and all around area). Some odd light activity streaking further afield, more than one instance. Planet X Red (if in regular relative location) is quite bright. Frame 2 has 1 strong swirl just below mentioned Frame 1 swirl. The area is washed out to some degree, but I see a possible Planet X.

Once again, these are FITS files, which means one must use a FITS viewer which can be downloaded from a Harvard site. Use Pierre's Guide to locate the coordiantes in reference to neighboring stars, including the large SAO star used for orientation on the Sep 21, 2002 imaging.
