It was discovered on August 6 2026 by the New Milky Way–TexasTech wide-field sky patrol,

In the fits-header of my image it say CCD instead of CMOS.
For example : CCD-TEMP= 25.1000003814697
I guess it now should be : CMOS-TEMP= 25.1000003814697
But I don't think it will be changed so soon just as we say there are " Bugs " in the computer software which
originated from the old days when real spiders and flying insects ( bugs ) was caught in the
hot electro mechanical computers, causing bit-errors.
