J. William Dell Brightness of Red Light Object
on Oct 11, 2002

Using Summary comparisons between Oct 4,2002 images and Oct. 11 2002 images.

Based on Zeta confirmation of Frame 5 object Oct 11 2002.

I note the following;

Location change
1) Red PX on Oct. 4 2002 has moved Oct. 11 2002 left towards faint star
   which appears on both images.
2) Red PX IS converging with White PX (true location) as per the Zeta.
