Hi all,
Firstly let me say I am not a variable star observer per se. Due to my change of job and family relocation I have done very little observing in the past 9 months. I had my first serious run back from a spell recently at Coonabarabran. I have always taken a major interest in Eta and its associated targets, consequently when I was at Coona recently I was quite interested to see what Eta Carina had done in the 10 months since I looked at it last. Seeing and mirror cooling didnt support magnification high enough in the 30" SDM to push any detail out of the Homunculus which was dissappointing. On the 1st and 2nd April I estimated ETA Carina at Mag 4.8, without reference to any other observers estimates.
Cheers
John B
