Last night's shot of Groombridge 1830 - the 3rd highest Proper Motion of a star across our skies of 7"-arc per annum towards the SE.  The star is of similar class [G8] as our sun but 70% of its size moving @ a high -98K/s velocity.  If I remember to record it another year its motion should be obvious.  Note the position on the Sloan red/blue plate

from earlier Epochs.
