Yep, I am mistaken, as the bright star that Comet Johnson passed a few days ago was not Omicron. When I look more carefully, the star has "b" marked against it in the charts. There are many bright stars in Centaurus, so I can only assume that all the Greek letters were used before this star was designated.
