   Inconvenient and incomplete.  I have tried e.g. OT J021110.2+171624
= CSS080130:021110+171624.  There is indeed a VSX entry, but it does not
show the desired reference ATEL 1416.  The only SIMBAD objects for this
ATEL are SN 2008al and SN 2008an.  This is apparently a side effect
of a non-standard nomenclature system and/or the lack of an object name
(rather than an event name).
