[vsnet-chat 2521] Re: My Top 10 variable stars of the 1900's

["William S G Walker" <astroman@voyager.co.nz>]

Hi Lew,

A couple of nights ago I looked up and there was Mira. I'm glad to see it
on your list! And SN1987A was an old favourite - we did a lot of UBV
measures on that!

Maybe a star like FO Aquarii should replace your Crab Pulsar - at least we
can measure the pulses on FO with a small telescope. And l Carinae is a
much more visible Cepheid.

And I've still got  soft spot for VW Hydri, the best of the SU UMa stars.

Regards,
Stan
