Re: Mark IV data off by one day

[Thomas Droege <tdroege2@earthlink.net>]

OK, for my "2453109" day I have:

220.54282 18.95576 2453109.76631 V 11.97 I 11.29

The only other objects close to this position had big V/I differences and
were at least a mag off.  I notice little difference between V and I.  Is
this a clue that it might be an asteroid?  I assume we have some color
information for Manderville as a check?
