20250504 Late starting due to cloud, 09:15UT marked drop in flux of comp stars followed by loss of guiding, then when guiding resumed it decided to push the mount completely off course and no further useful data were obtained. So these data only span about 1 hour.

Pruned marked dips in brightness of comparison stars due to thin cloud. Last hour's data was most affected and removed completely. Transient around 09:35/09:36, rudimentary checks of comps, and star profile of target suggest no artifacts in the image are responsible. So something short lived and bright, maybe what we're looking for? With all the certainty of a shrug.
