There are a few asteroids including 1011 and 1689 CdC places around your FOV Steve. Can you identify the star close to the unknown?

Not trying hard. Get a Garmin GPS 18LVC (the bare wire version), NTP software, a USB cable, a DE9 plug (usually but incorrectly called DB9), and with a bit of soldering you can be within microseconds. I haven't got round to wiring mine yet. I settle for milliseconds.
