Once you start you'll be hooked! Even viewing Carbon Stars Viz. R Leporis "THE BLOOD STAR" near Orion and those CARBONS in doubles! Esp good if theres light pollution !!

Aha, carbon stars! Now you have hit the sweet spot.

Yep, R Leporis (I prefer Hinds carbon Star, helps with the memory.....) is super grouse. And how many people, en route to the Jewel Box, have star hopped via Mimosa, and missed DY Crucis, a very easy to find neighbouring carbon star.

Important things? Of course, we are made of the stuff!
