Mille grazie, Luca!

Let's see if the solution turns out to be true with more
follow-up during the next days. I am somewhat sceptical.

I think it is too big to have gone unnoticed and the solution
implies that it was found almost at aphelion, which is also
very unlikely. I have discussed that with Bill Gray and Tim Spahr
already and they seem more optimistic than me. Fingers
crossed that they are right :o)

The only thing that *really* indicates it could be true:
It was found on a partially cloudy night where almost all
images were affected by clouds. And since "Deadly Impact"
(SL9 story) we know that "big" things get discovered only on
such cloudy nights ;-)
