[vsnet-campaign-sdor 46] Eta car in different passbands



> surprise! a 2.4 cts/s increase

I have updated the visual lightcurve at:
http://ar.geocities.com/varsao/Curva_Eta_Carinae.htm
It's still on the slow rise around 5.0-5.1.
Looking at the historical data, the eclipse is more apparent in the infrared
bands than in the visual.
It happens well after the X-ray minimum has been reached.
July 11, 2003 is the predicted date according to the IR data.
Might it be possible that the visual eclipse arrives even a little later?
Why is the reason for these diferences accoring to passbands?

A good chance for professionals to help humble amateurs understand!

Cheers,
Sebastian.

PS:  I think the visual eclipse will be 0.1-0.15 mag. deep. I hope clouds
don't interfere in the couple of months to come.
