AT 2024aane - Transient  (non-detection)

AT 2024aane (Sagittarius)
AT 2024aane (Type: unk) discovered 2024-10-30.616 UT by Gaia
Alias: Gaia24dds
Alerting Magnitude 16.25 (G-Gaia Filter)
vs Historic Magnitude x  +/- x   SD
Apparently hostless blue transient
 ( TNS 2024aane | Gaia24dds )
 
AT 2024aane - 2025-07-16 (T+259.4d)
Image below (2025-07-16.992) was taken 259.4 days after discovery of 2024aane
Position of earlier transient (not visible, likely faded)  is shown by white cross-hairs 
Non-Detection Limiting Magnitude +14.5 (Clear Filter)
Poor quality image (single frame (locate frame),
short exposure (10s only) )
