[AAVSO-HEN] GRB041006

[Aaron Price]

 Of course! Arne is travelling now and Peter may have an afterglow! :)
Lucky Arne is coming to AAVSO HQ for a quick visit and I pick him up
at the airport in 7 hours so we can get his feedback.  Ironic!
 We'll investigate this further. Meanwhile, if anyone is in dark skies
and near a scope, please get on this quickly!!!
