To the CBAT -- Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams.
The overall discovery, verification, and reporting is very well
described by a supernova hunter Alain Klotz on his page
<http://alain.klotz.free.fr/snalert/>.
Since you are reporting a non-discovery, the usual steps to eliminate
stars, asteroids, known discoveries, etc., don't apply.
Look at <http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps/HowToReportDiscovery.html>
for some details. For a list of information to include, see
<http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/DiscoveryInfo.html>.
Send an e-mail to <cbat@No-Spam> and copies to
<dgreen@No-Spam> and <green@No-Spam>.
Be sure the e-mail uses only plain text, not html. The latter does
not get through their spam / virus filters.
