Here they are again.  The most recent coordinates:
    RA 5.143675 Dec 16.421739 on April 15, 2001
    RA 5.138421 Dec 16.419789 on April 30, 2001

Remember to filter FOR red, as this is a redish object.  Go down to
magnitude 10-11, not magnitude 2.  And bear in mind that the appearance
of this inbound smoldering brown dwarf is a very dull glow, not the
pinpoint of light that a star presents.  It is still far enough out that
it is not reflecting sunlight as our other solar system planets,
including Pluto, do.
