Funny you should mention this. I have been studying Eta Carinae for the last 4 months and three weeks ago I noticed that the star and it's associated nebula was amazingly bright. I have been searching ever since for any news on this but to no avail, until I came across this thread. Is there any information out there on it? As I'm new to this hobby (4 months), I just wasn't sure, but I knew that night it was spectacular. Unfortunately, since that observation, clouds and bad weather since have gotten in the way of me being able to take another look.
