I look forward to hunting these down with the extra help that I'll have now and from what you say in your report, I can't wait to see them!. 
Must go look at that dark doodad sometime, sounds interesting.
While in Hydra, you should check out the carbon star, V Hydrus- it is amazing!  Bright and good size with an orange/red colour- you couldn't miss it at all It's the reddest carbon star- though to me Ruby Crucis looks redder (blood red)  |
Thanks Suzy
,
I have seen Ruby Crucis and it is the redest star I have seen.I must check V hydrae out and will compare for you.
Cheers Orestis
