It leads us again to the borderline between Be and BCEP that was discussed
before.
As in the case of V862 Sco, I've been observing the field often, this time
because of V528 Car and AG Car. Lately the star looks quiet. But it's very
interesting to know about this strange behaviour in order to pay more
attention.
I think that, as in the case of delta Sco, quiet Be stars can wake up
without a warning, so they are a good target in looking for new variables.

Don't give up. I'm really tired out of watching Eta Car at 5.2/5.3 but i
know that eventually it will pay.

Best regards,
Sebastian.
