Hello,
I have just stumbled on this post and was so sorry to read of the sad loss of this young girl - my condolences to the family and loved ones. Thanks to Rob_K's investigation, I was able to plot the field in The Sky and SkyTools, as shown in the attached charts. SkyTools lists it as SAO 239845
We have been pretty much clouded out in Brissie since Oct 2006, and the next 6 days have rain/clouds forecast, but I will attempt to obtain an image the next clear night opportunity.
My preliminary attempt will be made using my B&W ST7E CCD camera, so the image will be in black and white only.
Cheers
Dennis
