Thanks Rick
From the literature the surface brightness of the of the Carina Dwarf is the range of 25.7-33.2 mag/sq arc sec.
The problem is being able to accurately define the size of the Dwarf by being able to delineate it from our own galaxy.

Thanks H.
It could be the tidal stream as the dwarf is being pulled apart by our galaxy.
