Hi, all: Just a couple of days after we were discussing stuff on mu Centauri, I'm finding it very bright. Actually, it is brighter than I have ever seen it before (and this means only 1998...). I can't call it an outburst yet, so I won't say a thing but to send my observations. But I'll keep a close eye on it. My recent observations are: 20010606.115 3.50 20010607.179 3.50 20010618.049 3.41 20010620.137 3.37 20010620.914 3.30 20010621.005 3.28 If this turns out to be more than the ordinary pulsations, it would be very interesting to take spectra soon!! I'll be in touch. Cheers, Sebastian. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://vsnet.grisoft.com).
