[vsnet-chat 4989] Re: Eta Carinae bright?

["Peter F Williams" <pfwilliams@onaustralia.com.au>]

Dear Bish and All,

My two recent observations (between our summer clouds and thick smoke from
the bush fires currently surrounding Sydney) do not suggest any brightening
of Eta Car :

STAR		YYMMDD(UT)	MAG	OBSERVER

CAReta		20011224.488	52	WPX
CAReta		20020103.511	52	WPX


Observations with 10x50mm binoculars.  Will check again if my skies ever
clear!

Regards

Peter Williams

I usually ignore an unconfirmed brightening report, but 
I've got just about enough emails today on this topic:

A simple question. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS RESULT?

It's been almost over 20 hours now and since no one
else reported the brightening, I'm guessing no one
could verify it (and it ain't a supernova yet). 

Thanks, 

Bish
