Hi All,
For those still interested in the Betelgeuse ... thang, under a somewhat smoke affected sky, not completely dark (very deep twilight) to my eye it has dipped a bit further and is now no better than marginally brighter than Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis) -- magnitude +1.62. It seems equally bright to me as Epsilon Canis Majoris (Adhara) -- magnitude +1.53. Estimate of magnitude +1.4 to +1.5.
Betelgeuse and the two other stars were approximately similar in altitude and therefore should be equally affected by the smoke-haze.
Best,
L.
