[vsnet-obs 9025] southern observations Dec 23 & 24 UT




G'day all,

My first chances to observe this month.  Partly cloudy on Dec 23.
Tonight I was distracted by Comets Hartley-2, Hale-Bopp - and that
special man with the huge sack of gifts (who promised me lots of clear
nights in 1998 :-)

On a serious note....
Eta Car seems "whiter" than usual to my eye.  Is this colour change
real?  And is it related to the current X-ray and spectroscopic
phenomena in progress?
