This was a typo for the RA, which should have been RA 4, not RA 5. This
can be seen as later in that same posting I report, verbatum, what the
MPC returned when I entered the 14.7 Mag that Sarah Mac claimed was the
limiting CCD magnitude range for this equipment.

Applogies for the typo, and also for calling the MPC the Monor Planet
Center in another posting.
