I'll be having a good look at the northern horizon tonight, if it stays clear.

good point! in the washington post article they claim that the IRAS telescope was looking at the northern sky
"The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time."
so what gives?
