VSOing
Hi Suzy. Mira is predicted to reach max light on july 16 2013, acording to the AAVSO buletin 76. However, it rarely gets as bright as the recent peak. But who knows? To quote somebody or other, there is nothing simple about the light curves of Miras.
Davis Levy's book is wonderful, and among a few others, great to have on the shelf. But if one wants to start observing, there's no escape from the Observer's Manual.
There's no need to do Algol, leave that to the northeners. You'll find useful southern targets suitable for beginers in the references cited in my previous post, and in Australian Sky and Tel.
Best. Alan.
