Wow, that is real science!
Yeah, that's what makes it fun. Maybe you should give it a try Joe. Seriously. You have the equipment and if I can do it under the very hazy sky I worked the GRB under very close to a full Moon surely you (and other on this list) can do it too.
It would be fun to hear your speculation about what triggered it. -- Joe
Honestly, I've no idea. However, I believe the speaker at next month's SLAS meeting knows about such things so I've emailed her asking for her thoughts. And maybe she'll opine about it during next month's meeting. BTW, I heard from the Science Director at AAVSO that events like this are very rare but not unprecedented. patrick
