Alan:

The MPChecker does not show any bodies within a 15 arcmin radius of the
position that you gave out to the 15th mag for the UT date that you
specified.

I also checked using the J2000 position of U Dor.  There are no bodies out
to the 20th mag within 30 arcsec of that location.

There is, however, a star cluster, [SL63] 277, located at RA 05 10.4
  Dec -64 28.0.  This is just south and slightly east of U Dor.  Since the
cluster is not well documented, it is not seen on any of the popular
planetarium programs.

  A more precise observation of the 'fuzzy' is:
  UT 20051025.605, and a magnitude of 8-9, at 5hr. 14' -65d 20'.

  I've not estimated a diffuse magnitude before, so this is very uncertain.
It was very obvious in a 20cm reflector. The position is as accurate as I
can get, as I dont use setting circles.
