Hi to all V838 Mon enthusiasts

Our VRI colour images of the nebula in May & September were published on
Astronomy Picture of the Day - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021003.html

These were obtained with the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) 
1m telescope + STE4 CCD (plate scale 0.3"/pixel).  The comparison clearly
shows the expansion & evolution of the nebula & how much redder the star
is now.  BVR & BVI images will be posted on the web shortly...
