    The observed magnitude, about 16.5, was unusually bright for the spacecraft's
    range: just over 1 million km. It was about 4 magnitudes brighter than predicted
    by my formula. Perhaps it was flaring at the time. In any case, this data
    probably should not be used to calibrate my formula.
