# Use vsnet-chat, not vsnet-alert!!

So from northern latitudes they appear slightly south of the equator. I remember a few years ago when I was observing a Mira in Orion I got quite a shock when I noticed a bright new "star" in the field. Its motion was apparent after a short time, though, which ruined my dreams of announcing a nova. Shawn
