Sorry Rob, but the replies I'm getting from the pros on the other list I'm on are like this one:
I neglected to compare the 1-second image with the 5-second image. When you do so it is clear that both Mizar components are getting reflected, and both move together between the two images. Too bad it’s not real. L
Oh wel, maybe next time. patrick On 21 Apr 2015, at 10:21, Rob Ratkowski <ratkwski@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:
If we ever get out of the trade showers I can look again.

I have asked the people on Cloudy Nights if there is anything unusual going on at Mizar. I'll see if anything pops up.

Maybe Rob found a glitch in the Matrix. We do live in a simulation.

I'm glad you got some photos, we've been stuck in trade showers here(summit is clear though) so I've not been able to take a simple look. With your scope, the 2 here on Friday night along w/ my BT100's, having an internal reflection in the same location would be a very odd coincidence. Thanks for imaging the mystery spot, someone will ID it.

I don't feel confident enough that it's not a reflection to report it officially.
However I did report it on another list I'm on that is frequented by professional astronomers.
Fingers crossed that Rob and his group made a real discovery.

Inform CBAT, get the pros alerted so they can get a spectrum.
