Sebastian Said, >V Hydrae, a superred star. I observe it at 6.6 right now. E . Eker at 8.5. >Nice lightcurve from our observations!! >The problem is... My binoculars' limitting magnitude is near 8.0. I look at >V Hya as a bright star through my 7X50's. Cones only work with a light >strong enough. I use direct vision so my cones are estimullated, so it is a >bright star First of all, sorry for my bad english I am still learning english. I observed that star several times and its fainter then 8 mag in my observations.I checked the observations in vsnet and aavso databases. All of the observations are between the range 7.5 and 8.1 except my and Sebastian's observations. I always try to do my best but likewise every human I can make error. But I believe the correctness of every observation that I sent. It is possible that only Sebastian's observations are correct. I think we should talk about the best way of observing these kind of stars. I believe that all of the observers here know something that the others don't know. We should share them.
