Thanks Joe, Someone on another list noted I caught variable star GT And (period just over half a day). Located half way down the images about 1/8 of the way in from the right side. It's pretty obvious once you know where it is. Nice wx forecast so hopefully more images tonight. patrick On 18 Oct 2011, at 10:47, Joe Bauman wrote:

(372) Palma is approaching M-31. It wont actually transit for another day or so but I got a few shots of its approach tonight. Animated GIF of 3 images taken over one hour. FOV is about 18x26 arc min. North is up, east to the left.

Hopefully it will be clear again the next few nights so I can get images of the transit.
Cheers,
