Re (vsnet-rcb 14), V854 Cen remains at maximum as shown by the following summary of recent observations. STAR YYMMDD(UT) MAG OBSERVER CENV854 20000601.347 73 WPX CENV854 20000605.402 73 WPX CENV854 20000609.418 74 WPX CENV854 20000614.377 74 WPX CENV854 20000621.339 74 WPX CENV854 20000623.414 76 WPX CENV854 20000625.381 76 WPX CENV854 20000628.378 76 WPX CENV854 20000703.360 76 WPX CENV854 20000705.360 73 WPX The recent slight decline, now apparently recovered, may be part of this star's normal pulsations at maximum. The above estimates are systematically fainter than those in (vsnet-rcb 14) but within each group the observations are reasonably uniform.
