TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER: 11133
SUBJECT: GRB 100814A: ISON-NM optical observations
DATE: 10/08/22 07:30:05 GMT
FROM: Leonid Elenin at ISON
L. Elenin, I. Molotov (ISON), A. Volnova (SAI MSU), A. Pozanenko (IKI)
report on behalf of larger
GRB follow-up collaboration:
We continue observation of the Swift GRB 100814A (Beardmore et al. GCN
11087) with 0.45-m telescope of ISON-NM observatory on Aug. 20 (UT)
08:42:06 - 09:33:14 and Aug. 21 (UT) 09:45:22 - 11:04:41.
The afterglow (Schaefer et al. GCN 11086; Beardmore et al. GCN 11087) is
well detected on stacked images for both epochs. Preliminary photometry of
unfiltered image against USNO-B1.0 star 0720-0016107, assuming R=19.73 is
following:
T-T0, filter, exposure, OT
(day)
6.2205 W 300x10 21.66 +/- 0.23
7.2734 W 300x15 22.50 +/- 0.30
The photometry errors are statistical only.

But don't find his name Leonid Elenin a little unusual, as the "discoverer" of a comet with a debris tail that may very well intersect the Earth. It's ODD, don't you think, you seem to be missing the point and crux of the thread, which is about the name of the person as much as speculation as to it's nature, size, path etc.
