Well it's now listed on the IAU Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams page: http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J10543413+5417569.html So I guess that's one step closer. But I still don't know for sure. And I see it's still being referred to as a "possible" supernova (PSN). patrick On 16 Jan 2014, at 08:40, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:
Official or not, it’s still pretty cool. My greatest astronomic moments are when my neighbor’s yard light burns out.

Thanks Dave, but it's still not official.
Still, I have sent off a message to "higher up" asking why I'm listed one place but not another.

It does seem like I should be listed.
But I don't know the rules so I need to wait to hear back from "officialdom".
Clear skies,
