Upon request for confirmation Tom Krajci reported to CVnet no trace of
ROTSE3 J151453.6+020934.2 on CCD images taken July 7, 2005.

I've compared it to the finder chart in IBVS 5559.  I can faintly see the
tiny edge-on spiral galaxy about 10 arcseconds to the southeast of the
target star...but I see no trace of ROTSE3 J1514.  I'd say it's fainter than
about 18.0.

I'm moving on to another target.

The false alarm I will take credit for. My apologies.
Can't explain away what I saw July 7; can't deny it wasn't there July 9 in
the eyepiece.
