EX Hya brighert? (Pearce) From: "Andrew Pearce" <arpearce@ozemail.com.au> Subject: EX Hya Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 07:32:43 +0800 This may be another short period variation at minimum, however I have observed a brightening of EX Hya as detailed below: Feb 5.806UT 13.1 Feb 6.757UT 12.6 The observation on Feb 6th was made at 0210 hrs local time. Unfortunately it clouded over shortly thereafter and I couldn't make any further observations despite there being another 2 hours of dark time. Observations for the 30 days preceding Feb 5th show the star to have remained at a relatively constant brightness around mag 13.1-13.2. Certainly no 0.5 mag increase as is the case now. Hopefully I'll make further observations tonight. Regards Andrew Pearce (PEX) --- HYAEX 20000205.806 131 PEA HYAEX 20000206.757 126 PEA
