Sebastian was the only person to spot my mistake. So I guess nobody else 
reads my posts and I can say whatever I like in future...? ;-)

Careless me read the wrong name off my observing notes. Report -should- 
read:

V412 Cen, incidentally, was also mag 7.4 (which is not unusual) that 
evening.

The E? classification for V744 Cen isn't from GCVS 3 or 4. My local 
bibliography simply cites "RASNZ note"; which means a VSS RASNZ 
newsletter or article. I can't check this at the moment because my old 
files are still in storage after my last change of home.

I've not been able to confirm the fade either. None of the clear bits of 
sky tonight were in the appropriate direction :(


cheers,
