[AAVSO-HEN] GRB 090424 -- bright burst

[M. Templeton]

Hello everyone,

I'm on vacation at the moment, but 090424 was relatively bright,
and remained so for several hours post burst.  It is probably below
magnitude 19 right now but might still be within range of some
of you.

The coordinates are:

RA: 12:38:05.11
Dec: +16:50:15.1

I apologize for the Swift alert not going out.  The pager system
has a (now apparent) flaw where the first trigger for a burst is
sent out, but not subsequent triggers from different satellites
if observers are not subscribed to the first satellite.  Fermi GBM
issued the first trigger, and I don't distribute those yet pending
testing, so nobody but me got the page.  All notices are
posted on the AAVSO HEN website, and the latest activity
page shows the Swift coordinates as it should.

I'll resolve the multiple-trigger issue on Monday.

Clear skies,

Matthew
