[vsnet-alert 15210] 2MASS J10411620-6345487 bright

[Rob Kaufman]

This star in Carina is shown in the NOMAD catalogue as V = 15.75, R = 10.92
and no variable star is listed in AAVSO's VSX at that position. Tonight it
appears to be about mag 11.4 unfiltered (RGB DSLR image).  Last shot I took
of this field was on 4 Mar 2012 and with better sky conditions and longer
exposures there was no sign of it.
