I am not fellowing for the moment the events listed above. Observations conditions have been bad in Chili since a month and a lot of these objects are for the North sky. I wanted but could’nt add LFBOT2026cex I started to observe last night. A very exciting target !

Yes a very nice target, easy to observe. I could make g’-r’-i’ pictures last night. They have been uploaded on Skyportal. Magnitude is a little bit under 17.
