Dear AAVSO, bright object has been found recently on the images gotten 231222 with BSM.
RA 06 47 46.27
DEC 14 39 24.44
13.367B 12.176V 11.475R
SIMBAD shows just Gaia DR3 3354449932979622272 near this place.
I suspect bright asteroid, but I do not know how to check it. There was not visible motion during 5 min. Short seria (4x60 s) shows linear brightness increasing from 12.183 to 12.169V.
Regretfully, I can not upload files here. Check please this coordinates, if there is a sence.
Probably (72) Feronia if time and date was close to 2023/12/23 19 UT ?
And happy Christmas !
