Hi all,
The 2-year-long eclipse of 3rd magnitude Epsilon Aurigae, which dims by nearly 1 magnitude every 27 years, has just begun.
Of course, for us, Epsilon Aurigae currently is a dawn object, but it will improve in coming months.
There's a special observer's guide on Epsilon Aurigae in the August/September issue of Australian Sky & Telescope.
I'd be interested to hear from observers here who do get out and observe the star.
Regards,
Greg
