Hi All

Re - Mira observations

Observed Mira last Sunday night and estimated that its current magnitude is approx 3.7, using the nearby stars Delta, mag 4.1 and Gamma, mag 3.5 as references. It was definitely brighter than Delta but fainter than Gamma, will be fascinating to watch for the next few months.

Regards

Jeff
