G'day all,
My OY Car observations for March 31 UT, through holes in cloud:
OY Car 14:27:50 12.5
14:28:25 12.5
14:29:50 12.4
14:31:40 12.5
14:33:00 12.4
14:35:15 12.5
15:04:10 12.5
15:07:05 12.5
Times to nearest 5 seconds. I suspect that this superoutburst is nearly
over...
Some other observations for March 31 UT:
S Aps 15:12 10.3
VY CMa 14:13 8.0
AG Car 15:35 6.7
Eta Car 15:34 5.6
RU Cen 15:00 9.3
UW Cen 14:37 <12.2
V854 Cen 14:50 7.6
BI Cru 14:21 10.5
BP Cru 14:22 10.6
S Dor 14:11 9.5
BO Mus 15:41 6.0
AR Pav 15:24 11.7 eclipse in progress
RY Sgr 18:57 6.4
LR Sco 19:26 10.4
R Sct 19:34 4.9 maximum
X TrA 15:44 6.7 faint episode continues...
Sakurai's object 19:09 <11.5 interference from nearby Moon
Also saw Ganymede almost occult Callisto, a lot of bright sporadic
meteors, and spent a couple of hours sightseeing along the Milky Way.
Not a bad night despite erratic cloud cover.
Southern observers are encouraged to monitor the AR Pav eclipse (mid
eclipse ~April 20). I know it's on the horizon for the first half of
the night; but during the next one AR Pav is on the horizon _all_ night.
cheers,
Fraser Farrell
