Well, I'm confused, coz I only mentioned it coz the guy said in his
email he'd got _both_ of 'em displayed within 8 arcsecs of each other

;)

You're saying that's not possible? Maybes he had CD GCVS and
GCVS2004.tdf?

Whatever, no biggy, I'd just noticed he mentioned two so close and I
wondered if they were the same object, so I checked.

Cheers

John
