X16-69909-01

• An astrophotograph of NGC 2244
• Header label:

NGC 2244 2524.18.01 - CFHT-MARS    X16-69909-01

• The image is of NGC2244, the Rosette Nebula, with a circled region and written label in the footer reading A new threat?
• On the reverse is a note to Halsey:

Catherine,
As far as I know, we don't officially have anything in this sector - we certainly don't have anything as BIG as this seems to be. Size-wise, it's got to be something in the neighborhood of Uranus XV (Puck) ... AND this is a 10 min. exposure - no p/y/r - this object definitely exhibits what I would have to describe as guided movement.

I know the chatternet isn't your kinda thing, but if you want to weigh in on this >> <sci.space.science.misc> ... it'll be pretty obvious once you're in.
