Hello Again All,

Upon further study by the kind people at the AAVSO, it has been determined that the mystery object in the TT Boo field at...
RA 14 57 44.73
DEC +40 46 15.4
...is most likely to be an image defect and not an unusual stellar object. The FWHM of the object in the FITS image is notably less
than the surrounding stars, probably a head-on ray strike on the chip.   Please disregard my prior request for further
observations/confirmation of this field unless you are after TT Boo (which I am). Thank you for your time and consideration.  Thanks
to Arne, Elizabeth and Aaron for their time.
