This image of the optical counterpart was obtained on on 2000 March 30 by Denis Buczynski and it shows the object at around magnitude 13. He obtained a lightcurve at the same time. The position of this object as measured by Yamaoka is R.A. = 11 18 10.79, Decl. = +48 02 11.2 (2000.0) and it is currently well placed in Ursa Major.
