I had seen all that Info but was looking for some more upto date information as say the last couple of months but couldn't find any 
My own opinion was that my observations where the result of refurbished mirror and great seeing 
But as you say this star is a variable and can go through phases very quickly.

Now I have that song stuck in my head .. your a rhymer you are

.
The most current information I could find is the one displayed on one of those graphs for 11th Feb. 2010. I've exhausted the net trying to find more current information. I even looked at AAVSCO's site
www.aavso.org/ and didn't come up with anything. How about sending an email to them
I'm thinking more seriously about joining the team so I not only can contribute but so I have people to ask to access information. They need people at the moment to observe Eta Carina. I've had interest in doing this for a long time, but decided to hold off. Ron, you and I should volunteer!
By the way, apologies that I forgot to comment on your brilliant observation of Eta Carina. I read it with great interest, but forgot to comment.

What an awesome sight you captured there! Eta Carina just doesn't stop to amaze and surprise us does it.
In the meantime, I'll keep trudging the internet for more up-todate info. Perhaps we should place this in another section for better feedback and help regarding information on it's brightening (perhaps the visual astronomy section within this section

).
