Would you mind please telling me (and all of us) how/where do you go to research and seek out these rare and exotic targets?

Nothing systematic or anything Andy, just a long time in the game, wide interest, internet browsing and surfing my planetarium software star charts from time to time

Actually there was less than 4hrs of exposure in this one Colin
