[vsnet-alert 3239] Re: V359 Cen in outburst



Berto,

I.m a little puzzled - your position for V359 Cen is not where the Guide
6.0 software places it. Is there some doubt over the position? I've been
trying to monitor it in very difficult conditions. I don't see anything
where Guide puts it but there is a star at your coordinates. If it
disappears then I'll know. Hoping for better conditions tomorrow night!

Regards,
Stan
