No I hadn't looked that deeply into this guy. I missed it by only 8 years. I've come within 27 hours of finding one first but that's the best I've done. Seems if you image fields with lots of galaxies one is seen every few months but they are usually weeks old. Since I often am not around when the data comes in and only look at it weeks later it's unlikely I'll ever discover one. I've imaged several "new" asteroids but either weather prevented follow up or more often I see them in the data weeks too late for follow up. Procrastination has its drawbacks.
